Let me know if I should add any more companies. I listed as many as I could think of off the top of my head.

Creative, for monopolizing the sound card market and flooding it with cheap crap.

You forgot: Real, Roxio, and Highpoint ;). At least stick in Real in the poll, that company has to burn.

Real would probably win hands-down. Everyone hates them.

Apple would be a close second, but no one here could tell you why they hate them.

I voted real :).

And I don't like Apple, only because their stuff is overpriced. Notice I didn't say I hate them, just don't like them ;).

Electronic Arts. Last good games I played by them were probably SkyFox and Archon on the Apple IIE, if I remember right.

I don't like much of Apple's stuff, but I am seriously considering buying an iBook or a PowerBook. I'm still researching, and hope to actually get my hands on some today to see how I like the keyboards.

No kidding. :|

Add Symantec to the list as well, I have more random problems with maintaining SAV server groups (losing liveupdate functionality, members dropping out of server groups, System Center crashing, etc). Not to mention they change the name of their products every.fvcking.day. :|

Codegen for most of their PSUs (the recent ones are all right) and JNC for their worthless trash PSUs.

I think mine is Belkin. I had terrible experiences with their customer support as well as their QA. I believe both are non-existant. It took them 3 tries to send me a working USB 2.0 PCI card. They even said to keep the previous ones that I claimed aren't working. Like they couldn't care less...

It has to be Creative. They tortured me for soooo long with their crappy website that made it impossible to find drivers. Damn them!
