Blogging Ottinger (tim)End of registry?
According to Master C# a goal of .NET was to do away with the registry. Well, there you go. I thought it was a bad idea from the get-go.
It might not have been so bad, if it at least had a good, solid database behind it, but it was dreadfully slow and didn’t take very good care of itself. It became messy and slow and just got worse and worse as time went by. It wasn’t in a human-readable file (that I know of) and data wasn’t sufficiently segregated by application, and it was awful. I know that they thought it was a great idea to get away from individual text files, but I thought it a poverty from the start.
I’m glad it’s dead. Ahh, it’s good to be right.
.ini files are the bomb!
