Windows PCs Subject to Clogging, Need Draino

System Mechanic 8, from Iolo Technologies does work as advertised and will keep your Windows machine "looking like new!" In other words, it will help keep the registry from getting clogged with garbage, eliminate needless start-up items from hogging resources, and perform a whole host of other nifty functions. Go to iolo.com for licensing and pricing.—John C. Dvorak [Source HERE]

Why am I plugging Iolo? Because I had a meeting with the company where it was explained to me how Windows machines manage to seemingly deteriorate over time. It seems as if Windows is overly susceptible to what can only be described as clogging. From the sounds of it, the system is designed like plumbing, with areas where what amounts to hair can clog the drain pipes. Products like System Mechanic are essentially Draino.

Running on old hardware, Windows clogs like a drain. Microsoft dropped the ball by not bringing out a new OS in 2005.

John C. Dvorak,

(Retrieved in entirety HERE for review and analysis ) "The registry, for example, never stops growing. Windows never optimizes the thing. You install a program and it creates an entry. You uninstall the program and the entry is still there, a stub that's zeroed out but taking up space. Often elements, even after uninstalled, remain there to be loaded into the system on each boot-up. There they sit, doing absolutely nothing except make the system check in on them every so often to see if they are dead or alive. It's like a storefront on a busy street for a store that never opens. There it sits useless, but you still have to walk past it.

Microsoft is the culprit since the company obviously designed its OS with the idea that people aren't really going to do that much with their machines—and probably never uninstall anything. Ever.

The problem we now face with these machines ironically stems from the hardware development outpacing the software development, so we can keep our machines running longer than ever before. Instead of replacing a machine every 18 months, as was the case in the late 1980s, we can keep a machine for five years or more.

I say this is ironic, because since Microsoft managed to put most software vendors out of business, the likelihood of a new software invention that would require more powerful and new machines has fallen to nil.

Combine this with the miserable Microsoft development cycle, which now stretches six to seven years between major changes from its old pace of two to three years. This pace in and of itself has resulted in an industry slowdown, since Microsoft has become like the drum-pounder on a Viking ship getting everyone to row slower or faster.
