Default Re: CD Key location

Sorry that I have to object, but
  • System backup is much more difficult.
  • The naming conventions in the registry are quite strange and most of the time it is hard to find the correct key.
  • Simple copy operations are not sufficient to transfer a software installation from one machine to another.
  • Manual software deinstallation requires a complex knowledge of used keys and is nearly impossible.
  • ...
In general it is not understandable why two disjoint hierarchies (file system and registry) are needed to store information. Having two concepts instead of one increases the complexity of the system in an unnecessary way.
