I watched a interview done between Channel nine and several leaders within the kernel development team and a question was addressed as to weather or not they would perfer that the registry never been invented. To sum up there response, they said they feel that if the registry was used for what it was intended for and stricter guidelines were set earlier on we could have avoided many of the problems we have today with the registry. I understand making drastic changes to the registry system would be a devistatingly painstaking task but would it not be one of the nessary steps to solve many of windows problems especially when dealing with security, not only within windows but within the applications running on windows? And has a major change to the registry structure and system ever been considered?
