I don't if I should laugh or cry. Yes indeed, the Windows Registry mess that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me - it got me started looking at Linux. There were other things I didn't like about Windows (security holes, blue screen of death, etc), but the Registry seemed like a bad joke. And yet I've been reading over the years in various blogs and articles (by "experts") that one of the problems of Linux was that it didn't have a Registry. So now Linux does have a Registry, and perhaps it's even more complex and opaque than the one in Windows. I assume this is what the Lennart disciples mean when they say (with a look of ecstasy on their faces) that systemd has finally made Linux a "modern" operating system.
