3) MacOS X - Jobs broke unix. Now included pinwheel of death (btw, I can't count how many time finder crashed on me last week)
4) Windows ME - poweron->bluescreen->click start->bluescreen....
5) Java - what kind of virtual machine can't keep track of it's own environment variables? -- a sh!tty one.

I second that

I like OE actually.

I hate using REAL and I dont' like MMJB much either. But I don't *use* any crap software as thats why I don't use it. Dont' use real at all.

[elzmaddy]

1. UMAX VISTASCAN Scanner software
2. Quicktime
3. REAL anything
4. AOL anything over 4.0
5. ActiveSync

Any spyware/malware could be added to the list. ie: COMET CURSOR.

Just because it may contain ads doesn't mean it's the WORST software. It means it needs funding. You want ad-free stuff, you pay for it, like almost anything else out there... but it's no reason to single Realxxxxx out.

If you think it has spyware, why isn't Kazaa on anyone's list ? Yeah, thought so.

caus I use the lite version

Open MG gets my vote, Im pretty much forced to use it despite other alternatives. And as for the other sofware that I have used that really pissed me off got uninstalled so I forgot about em

Life's too short to hate.

5) Gator

[StageLeft]

Real anything
starcraft

 

[glugglug]

1) Visual Basic
2) VBScript/VBA
3) Gator
4) Visual Source Safe
5) IIS

Honorable Mention: MS Outlook & Cisco VPN Client.

I know theres some others that should maybe go as high as slot #3 but can't remember them off the top of my head (don't make a point of using them).
