    And to think: 15 years ago, all programs were like that.

    15 years ago we were using white text on a black screen, with 16 colors available (if you were lucky)

    I was wondering if you would ever get around to this. <3 me some PortableApps.

    Maybe my USB thumb drive just sucks - which is most likely the case - but I found when I used PortableApps that Firefox and some other apps were unbearably slow. *shrugs*

    I don't know about you, but in '93, I already has some games using the swank 8-bit VGA.

    Besides, color depth has not bearing on this. It's Windows' fault that we have to register our programs. When Win95 came out, we should have stopped them. We should have boycotted. We should have rioted. We should never have lay down for the steamroller of program registration.

    Application registration is the rope that binds us, and we let them weave the cords of our servitude from the fibers of our own apathy!

    No More! I say. No More!

    Yeah and unfortunately because of legacy apps I think the registry is here to stay - Win7 and beyond :(

    One of the fine points I love about OSX - lack of registry :P
