Ahh, a Windows problem surfaces - so does a registry hack allegedly fixing the problem. That's basically the (sad) story of Windows today.

I don't see how this is a 'problem', but rather a tunable. And any decent OS has tunables. Would you rather not have this option?
I would rather have some meaningful progress on the Windows scheduler, for example.
It's doubtful that there would be 1000 people dedicated to the scheduler, or that it would produce a better result than the 1 to 4 people that likely work or are tied to owning the scheduler.

That said, what deficiencies do you see in the scheduler with the current build of Windows?

You could say that Windows is giving you options while defaulting to backwards compatibility.
One could also call it tuning.
