System mechanic was widely used to optimize PC when your boot up time and registry was foobar. W7 may vary well use its own registry cleaner and optimizer so there may be a conflict. W7 May optimize it one way and System Mechanic another. W7 may try to undo what was done with system mechanic Thus slowing your boot time down substantially.

Meh, my Vista has been going fine with no problems for over a year now. I've never really understood all the hate for Vista.

I am sure I have seen it maybe but never paid attention to it. I do understand cleaning up the registry a bit if you install and uninstall programs frequently. I just use CCCleaner for that maybe once or twice a year. But if you avoid installing crapware then you don't need to worry so much. I have a Virtual Machine for my testing of unknown apps.

For every day internet surfing there is nothing wrong with vista. When performance and OC are added to the equation everything is wrong with it.

Vista is like a catholic nun, its has a very strict margin of error, thus it will expect a perfect bit all the time. PC's especially those with an CISC based processor will never have perfect Bits. if windose vista could run on G5 macs it would never fail.

The only registry "cleaner" Microsoft ever had was meant to only be used by developers and hasn't worked in years. There certainly has never been anything built into the OS and there isn't now. Microsoft specifically warns against registry cleaners saying they do no good and can cause serious issues. Instead you let your registry build up garbage and slow down until the only solution is a compete OS reinstall. Not exactly modern OS design.
