[QUOTE="Slokunshialgo, post: 283077, member: 21869"] 2) Registry: As was said, there is no registry. All settings are saved in various files across the system, depending on what they are, and what they are used for. For example, personal settings would be saved in your home directory in hidden folders, many system settings are saved in the /etc, etc. 3) by "Windows Rot" I think he means the usual thing of how, on a Windows system, it always seems to be that the longer you have it running/in use for, the more things slowly start to go wrong, or just don't go right. Just too many conflicts in settings and registry entries over time. I can;t answer this one as I have only had my mac for a couple of weeks, so not enough time for my apple to start rotting. [/QUOTE]
