On Windows and Beehives

Raymond Chen writes,

"Useless trivia day.

Why is a registry file called a "hive"?

Because one of the original developers of Windows NT hated bees.  So the developer who was responsible for the registry snuck in as many bee references as he could.  A registry file is called a "hive", and registry data are stored in "cells", which is what honeycombs are made of. "
