Microsoft has a problem -- the whole industry has a problem.
The problem is that a "Microsoft" has been allowed to persist, in a manner
that IBM and AT&T were not allowed to persist.
At some point, maybe soon, the Registry will be the death of Windows. At
some point people will simply refuse to go through this sort of upgrade
process to accommodate what is essentially a mediocre architecture based
on ideas from the 1980s.
. . .
If anything will drive people to Linux, it will be this Registry-centric
architecture of Windows. Linux does not use this concept, although some
maniacs are promoting the idea for some unknown reason.
Who? The Mono guys? (I'm just wondering, not claiming anything.)
