Sorry, my bad here. Of course, only the binaries and static assets are stored in C:\Program Files. Your point is the perfect argument though for why Wine emulates a Windows file system hierarchy. I don't like the registry either. My `not too bad` refers to the effort required to support it. Wine should make it possible though give each application its own copy of the registry. This copy could be nuked along with the application when it is uninstalled. Linus doesn't like a lot of things. ZFS for example. It certainly sucks to maintain out-of-kernel patches, but if there is enough benefit, someone will do it. And it would be actually pretty sweet and ironic if Windows applications run faster on the Linux desktop than on Windows. Also, I am optimistic that futex2 will find many applications outside of Wine.
