Someone marked this original post as spam.
Why is someone doing this?
This is the lounge and this is a good question / message.

I agree with the original message. I've been developing on Windows since Win 3.0 (around 1994) and I feel the same way. Way too much dependency of Microsoft apps on registry -- like they're trying to tie everything to that so things can't be moved easily to other OSes.

I always try to build my own apps so they can just be copied over and run. Microsoft has talked out of the side of its face on this issue itself. Trying to say you could do
one-click deployment or xcopy deployment.

Yeah, they talked about it, but then never did it themselves or really got behind it.
