Exhibit A: The Domain management uses the registry to impose restrictions or configurations.
Exhibit B: The registry is used and accessed by legacy (non-Metro) applications
Exhibit C: Metro applications are sandboxed and cannot access the registry
Exhibit D: Windows on Arm will NOT have access to legacy (even recompiled) applications, nor will it connect to Domains
Conclusion: Microsoft may be attempting to slowly replace the domain for non-Enterprise use
UPDATE: I found this article that explains that Windows 8 will use the registry to manage metro applications. While this throws a ship's spanner into my theory, I have to note that these registry keys are OS-side, with zero ways for the Metro applications to interact with the registry. This means that Microsoft may still be slowly replacing the registry; just that it is still important to Windows 8. This design also allows for the possibility for an update to Windows 8 to (or W9) to replace the registry method without breaking application compatibility.
