Gadgetzone.com has an interesting artcile on 20 things Windows 7 MUST include (their emphasis, not mine). They begin "Despite its enhanced security, improved CPU scheduler and excellent stability, it's still the flawed gem in many critics' eyes. But can Microsoft win back the XP crowd with its upcoming Windows 7 offering? The fact is, they have to." My Take: Not sure I agree with them all -- do home users really care about WinFS? -- but some, like home user licensing and simpler management of startup items would be really compelling features for upgraders.

Oh, you prefer the unix "every config has a unique syntax" approach? or the osx "where the hell is the config?".
The real problem is that Microsoft is not instructing developers on how to use windows. The registry was a good idea, having a centralized and structured way of storing the configuration of apps is great. Only developers are not using it and it's really bloated with all kind of never used crap.
The registry could use a lot of cleaning up, but the idea is better than the alternatives.
