For what its worth, "TSR's" (so called Terminate and Stay Resident apps) went away with Windows NT and all subsequent NT-based versions of Windows. There pretty much isn't an analogue in current versions except perhaps services which have a slightly similar intent.
The registry is a terrible design, mostly because there's no simple way to access it and clean it up. .NET and DirectX are deals with the devil a little bit too as MS rewrites and obsoletes both of these at a frightening rate. They break backwards compatibility on both pretty much at will and in subtle, hard-to-find ways. This forces you into upgrading to be able to keep your stuff working, a very expensive proposition for a .NET/DirectX development shop. I've found the best fix for Windows was to just replace it with something else. MacOS X (and of course an Intel Mac) is what I use and of course the Linux distributions are coming along pretty good. Most of those problems go away in one shot with these hi hi. Only drag is I couldn't use a Flex rig (unless I got the 5000c). Darn. Good thing I have my K2!
