I didn't say Microsoft was alone in the use of file extensions. I merely 
noted that they didn't bother to make a registry for them.

Unless the folks at FILExt and the rest are as wrong as me, last I heard 
Microsoft still doesn't maintain anything like Apple's application 
signature registry.

Of course, Linux doesn't either.  But it seems a bit early yet to have 
high expectations of usability in the Linux community. ;)
