What the hell slows Windows down?
I guess my answer would be, well.......Windows itself slows Windows down. It's bloated for one. 40 Million+ lines of code is enough for anyone to scream over. I'm not bashing Windows, as I run a mostly Windows shop here, and Linux has it's bloat in there too. Windows uses a registry to keep track of things installed, deleted, changed, etc. When companies write software, a lot of times when you remove it, it doesn't take the registry information out.
This is partly because if something else has possibly over-written one of the keys, and it's removed, it can wreak other havoc on your system. The registry is kind of a helpful tool sometimes, and your own worst enemy other times.
I'm not a fan of the registry my self. Too much crap in there to go looking for, and it makes it easy for malware, adware, etc. to install itself into, making it almost impossible to remove.
