  1. 1:56 Linux systems don’t tend to need defragmenting. But then, they don’t have a “Registry”, either. The problem with Windows is that it is so complicated inside, nobody at Microsoft understands how all the parts interact any more. Why else would it need to reboot 5 times during a system install?

  2. 7:18 Linux distros can do updates without requiring more and more resources from your computer. Why is it Windows does?

  3. 3:09 A large Registry on its own shouldn’t slow things down. You said it yourself, it’s supposed to be a “database”. That means it has efficient lookup mechanisms that scale well to large amounts of data. It should have indexes which give access directly to the desired records, skipping over the irrelevant stuff. Does Microsoft actually implement things that way? After a quarter century since the introduction of Windows NT, do you think it has finally figured out how to do fast database lookups? Answers on a postcard, please...

  4. 6:03 Linux application software doesn’t, for the most part, need to install itself into the boot routine. Yet something like LibreOffice or Inkscape can still start up quickly. Even with all that boot preinitialization, Windows software still becomes slower and slower to start all the time. How come?
