The Apple way - or the highway.

Windows registry is a monolith that grows bigger and heavier all the
time slowing the PC down to a crawl. That's the way in all versions of
Windows, from 3.1 to Vista. I don't know about Windows 7, but if M$ are
smart, they will get rid of the monster in that version.
No such crap in mac/Linux/Unix.

Large Registry = Slower Windows.

One of the perpetual Windows myths.

It's an indexed database, the size is irrelevant.

Well, it does slow down over time. You'd need a registry cleaner to clean out the old junk.

Bzzzzt. Wrong answer. Myth. Any slowdown has nothing to do with the registry.

I could also say 2,000 plist files on my Mac "slows the system down" but it doesn't.
