The Windows Registry is a pretty good key-value store for centrally storing config.
Because some, perhaps many, have abused the originally good idea, does not invalidate its positive aspects.
Also, I do not agree it is a file system. It is a key-value storage system that is leagues better than the win.ini, system.ini, and the prolific ini file collection hell it replaced.
Some form of version control would make the registry better.
