>>If you installed multiple applications which use share component (ie: MS Office products) in Mac, uninstall one of the applicaton will go thru the same registry checking process as Win95 (tell me if you can think of a more elegant design).<<

Andy -

This could go on all day, and I'm sure we would never agree. ;-)

Since the Mac OS does not have a "registry" you will never have a registry checking process as part of an uninstall routine. In fact, the OS design is so elegant that you don't need uninstall routines at all.

I would never use the term "elegant" to describe the Windows 95 or NT registry. Rather, I would call it byzantine, klugey and prone to corruption.

I positively shudder when I see companies planning to migrate their network systems to Active Directory when NT 5.0 comes out. If Microsoft can't keep a database that keeps track of just one computer straight, how can they do that for a whole network?
