"So far, Windows Vista is an interesting OS. It does quite a lot of things much better than the previous versions but then it also requires way too many resources in order to work appropriately. There are also some slight glitches, but those are probably due to its beta status and nothing more. Besides, this is probably the most successful and productive Beta that ever came out of Microsoft."

I've always been one to say I hate the registry. Not for the same reasons as these people though.
The reason I hate it is because applications always leave stuff laying around in it, and it's not easy to clean up. That has always bothered me to no end.
I personally think the registry is fine, but that most apps should use local files for most settings. But I think apps like IE and most of the included Window apps are exceptions, because of the sheer flexibility involved with them in group policies through registry.

This is not the fault of the registry but that of developers not using standard installers. You can avoid alot of this by always using add/remove programs in the control panel.
