A registry checker for Vista is a considerably different piece of software than a registry checker is that scans for corruption in a Windows 98 registry, for instance. Windows Vista is a very large and complex operating system.
It stands to reason that a registry repair software would have to have capabilities a previous Windows operating system cleaner would not require. This of course, is not to say Windows XP is simple, it is far from it. Still, Windows Vista is different from XP and so it requires a different type of software to scan it.
There is no one peice of software that can scan and repair different operating system registries. Registry scanners that are capable of cleaning Windows XP and Vista for instance, are multipart software packages. The have the intelegence to recognize whether it is a Windows XP or Vista registry they are scanning as soon as the proccess begins. If it is an XP operating system, its XP scanner kicks in. If it is a Vista registry, the Vista registry cleaner section of the software goes to work.
