Win7 registry vs. XP registry
A friend is going to purchase a Win7 machine soon and give me his old XP machine. I plan to use this gift as an opportunity to learn the registry on a (sacrificial) test machine. If things go foul, I can bulldoze the XP machine and do a fresh install without compromising the other computers in the house.
Are there significant differences in the Win7 registry and the XP registry which I should be aware of, or are they similar enough to make what I learn on the XP machine useful on a Win7 machine?
Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of?
