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. David Chittenden, MS, CRC, MRCAA Thomas Ward

Hi, No operating system is full proof. Mac OS and Linux both have frequent security updates, and security is often what you make it. Even Windows can be fairly secure provided the end user running it is remotely security concious and compitent. If not he or she is likely at faultfor opening

Hi, True enough. I've actually got plans to revamp the Genesis engine to have better Windows 7 support by using .NET Framework 4.0, which comes with Windows 7, as well as swap DirectSound for XAudio2 via SlimDX. That's a fairly big upgrade, but when I do my games will be fully Windows 7

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

yeah tom I hate the registry. In old dos days you couldn't really screw the system. even if you mangled your autoexec and config files you could in later versions 6x and over be able to bypass those and boot into a bare system, ofcause windows is a bit more complex than that. At 06:12 a.m.
