Another Forum has this topic going and I thought it would be interesting to see our views on this subject

I'll start:

Why cant a Windows system detect what changes have beem made to the registry, and report thus to the user? Also, why is it that Windows cannot detect leftover trash in Registry when third party software has been uninstalled?

This is what 'I' want to see in Windows, nothing graphical or cosmetic, just useful operations that, quite frankly, should have been implemented in XP, let alone Vista.

Isn't there a plan or hasn't there been mention of an xml like or definitely an xml database to replace the registry at some point? Perhaps when WinFS arrives...can't recall but I think this is a future planned change.

That would be nice, registry structure is complex and hard to manipulate in practice.
