How wonderful. Can you use your choice of editor? Do the comparisons 
include the comments? Does it do version control as well? And being a non-
Microsoft tool, I’m sure it’s completely bug-free and will never, ever 
corrupt your Registry and render your entire machine unbootable ...

Question to ponder: Why did Microsoft feel the need to add the feature to 
PowerShell to be able to browse the Registry as though it were a 
filesystem?
