For what its worth, "TSR's" (so called Terminate and Stay Resident apps) went
away with Windows NT and all subsequent NT-based versions of Windows. There
pretty much isn't an analogue in current versions  except perhaps services
which have a slightly similar intent. 

The registry is a terrible design, mostly because there's no simple way to
access it and clean it up.

.NET and DirectX are deals with the devil a little bit too as MS rewrites
and obsoletes both of these at a frightening rate. They break backwards
compatibility on both pretty much at will and in subtle, hard-to-find ways.
This forces you into upgrading to be able to keep your stuff working, a very
expensive proposition for a .NET/DirectX development shop.

I've found the best fix for Windows was to just replace it with something
else. MacOS X (and of course an Intel Mac) is what I use and of course the
Linux distributions are coming along pretty good. Most of those problems go
away in one shot with these hi hi.

Only drag is I couldn't use a Flex rig (unless I got the 5000c). Darn. Good
thing I have my K2!
