It is more on the contrary. The registry is one of the most well-thought features of Windows. Also there is nothing like "bloat". No process needs too loop around or smth like that, so there is literally no way to have a forgotten registry item slowing down your PC. And last but not least: What are the alternatives? .plist config files like with Apple, scattering around the system?
