If i have two computers and I install the same program on both of them, will the four snapshots be similar (same entries)?
even if there are different OS?

Do you have two computers with different OS? If so, try it!
In general, though, many apps are configured for their installers to add the same registry entries to any computer. Some installers are configured to detect the OS, and therefore could add different entries depending on the OS. And also, it's common for installers to use constants for things like Windows Directory and Users Directory, and the OS will then modify the path if necessary (i.e. in Windows 2000, the Windows directory is C:\WINNT, but in later versions it is C:\WINDOWS).
Nothin to it but to do it, tho.

Two computers, same OS.
The snapshots will export identical snapshots, right?
the only different is the account path right?
user names...
they would be similar, though i doubt identical. it depends on whether or not other programs are running, what those programs are, and as you mentioned the user names, and the HKEY\USERS\{long-random-mess-of-numbers} as this is the same as HKEY\CURRENTUSER

Clean - means that only that program was installed and running.
?
if it is the ONLY application installed and running, then just "the user names, and the HKEY\USERS\{long-random-mess-of-numbers} as this is the same as HKEY\CURRENTUSER" would be different, i think.

What would be different in
"HKEY\USERS\{long-random-mess-of-numbers} as this is the same as HKEY\CURRENTUSER"
?
the "{long-random-mess-of-numbers}" would be different. that value is called a GUID, and it is a unique identifier for the current user. the difference would be the {long-random-mess-of-numbers}, not any of the subkeys

Okey, thanks for your help!
Also, don't forget that MRU entries can be ignored, as I mentioned in https://portableapps.com/node/25135#comment-158991
and it's possible that the system may be running something that has nothing to do with your app, that could leave a harmless registry entry.
