Most everything one might get in the registry, comes in through IE. And that's regardless of the Win version, up until 10.

I've never run any type of anti-virus, firewall, or any other such crap and have never been infected in any way.Same reason you love 7 and 8, and vB5? BLOAT. Bloat, and not any better or any more secure.

They've finally done away with IE and I say good riddance to that generational piece of crap. Only hoping the replacement isn't nearly as bad for security.

The rendering Engine that powers IE is still there, and hasn't gone anywhere. Its called Trident, and its again, still a underlying powerhouse of Windows. Sorry to burst your bubble.

What bloat is there in 7 or 8? You do realize that major security and performance enhancements are in both 7 and 8, and more are coming in 10, right?

If you really knew me I don't think you'd say the things that you're saying. I stand by vB5 as a progression of the vBulletin software. I've always noted that its performance is not where anyone wants it, and I was always a major player in pushing it to be in a better place. I'm sure Paul, Lynne, or Joe will vouch for me on what I did during my time.
