Much of the fashion for using registry cleaners stems from the days of
win9x. Back then you needed a registry cleaner to keep your computer
running. The way the registry is used with NT versions of Windows this is no
longer needed.

You're totally wrong about that. WinXP is just as apt to develop a
bloated registry as any of the legacy OSes.

The biggest issue that leads to this condition has nothing to do with
whether the current OSes are coded to maintain better internal hygiene
or not. The problem is poorly and incompletely coded application
uninstall routines, which often leave orphaned entries throughout the
registry. Nothing but a decent registry cleaner is going to find and
eliminate them.

JV16 was rated as among the best registry cleaning apps based on its
ability to find the most registry errors and fix them on the initial
run. The competition kept finding more "errors" every time they were
re-run, which shows they are not capable of doing the job properly.

I've been using various registry cleaning apps for years, and have
plenty of experience with them. Bad ones exist, and can do damage.
JV16 is not one of them. Take that to the bank.
