Hello,
Remember that the registry is extremely intentional by Microsoft to
provide a way to help companies keep people from pirating their
software. It is also why Windows spreads parts of almost every program
around a little on your computer.

Hi,
Well, the registry is one of Microsoft's biggest mistakes. If you lose
the registry you pretty much lose the entire ball of wax. With Linux
every program, including the operating system, stores settings in
*.conf files. As long as you make a back up of the conf file in
question before editing it chances are you can easily recover and fix
whatever changes you made. Most of the time changing one conf file
won't result in nuking the entire operating system. Although, there
are certain conf files you could screw up the entire operating system
with if you weren't careful.

Hi,
yes, I also don't like that with the registry in Windows. Also you
can like cheat, and also, crack games. With Mac its not that easy,
when it comes down to cracking games.
