So just an open ended question...
What's your philosophy on how rigidly you maintain a "clean install"?
Personally, it bugs me every time I want to install a new program on my Windows 7 machine. I like to use portable software if available. Have been playing around with VMs as the platform for some of the crappier-ware that I sometimes want to try.
It just pains me to think of the potential registry orphans that I leave behind every time I install and uninstall a program (even using Revo Uninstaller!). Am I OCD with this?
