Unlike us power users, many people like the web search.

Still the fact that this can be easily disabled with a single registry key is an advantage of Windows, not a detriment.

Editing the registry is also potentially dangerous and I have had to reinstall windows more than once because of it.

The fact that windows does not provide a safe configuration environment within which to make such changes, is most definitely a detriment.
