I'm just curious if Vista has enhanced the OS to be more stable and less
prone to junk registry entries, errors, & slow downs?

Honestly, I think with the added folder and registry key virtualization, it is more stable. As more software is designed for Vista, it will be the best OS ever.

Hi Chris,
Junk entries in the registry are created by the programs that are installed,
not Windows. Errors, slow downs, same cause.
What Vista has done is make it more difficult for unwanted malware, viruses,
etc. to surreptitiously install itself using elevated privileges (caused by
users that like to continually run in admin mode).

So if I create separate profiles/users,
each user profile will only load the most minimal amount of services until a
program is started and requiring them?
I'm just trying to get a handle on how much the OS maintains its health and
minimizes resource waste.
I know developers long for freedom in user healthy programming with an
abundance of controls already built in.
I work with quite a few environments myself particularly; ASP net, Web
development, and SQL.
The more features added the more services required etc...
I just wondered if the OS will manage their unintended greed in favor of
greater stability?

Hi Chris,
What Vista does is run all users in protected mode, regardless of account
type. This doesn't prevent services and programs from running *if* they have
been previously ok'd by the user. It prevents the initial installation of
unwanted, performance sapping garbage by forcing it to get permission. UAC
(User Account Control) lowers a user's privileges just enough to allow
normal software to run unimpeded while blocking anything that threatens to
alter the system until the user acknowledges that action. In addition,
programs run within the user's envoronment, not in the system environment,
thus preventing damage that can affect other users.
