Does Vista registry ever need any 3rd party 'cleaner software?'

A lot of registry cleaners are out there claiming a lot of things. In
Windows 98 and in XP they probably helped a lot to optimize and compact the
registry. Do we know or have enough information yet about how or if Vista
handles it's own registry efficiency, and perhaps, not requiring any
additional 3rd party help? PCWorld touts some effective cleaners etc, but I
couldn't find much 'on point' in the windows knowledgebase. I always crossed
my fingers when I used one in '98 and XP even though I had backed up the
registry. Thanks for any information.
