Worst Technology Product Ever

Cast your vote.

I nominated Vista.

Please everyone vote vista... :-)

Sorry.  I can't vote for Windows Vista.  Vista is better than XP, which, in turn, is better than 98, which was better than 95, which was better than 3.1.

That said, it's still barely useable, but still not the worst technology product ever.

I voted for "Anything with DRM".

Windows ME

I find it difficult to understand how anyone could prefer Vista to XP or even 2k lol

I prefer Vista because I can do cool apps that improve on what I liked about the Amiga so long ago. I think you'll find that these Vista Apps are really very cool. If you really want to see what Vista does, check out this Video on a Mac with Safari or Firefox or a PC with Internet Explorer..

If after you see this you aren't impressed you are probably just a MS hater or you wish the Amiga could do this right now... Either way I'd question your motivations for saying such things..

I've never met anyone who waxed nostalgic about Windows.  Mostly people are like.."God, its even worse than the last version..".   Most people are (rightly) cynical about the technology industry in general, and Microsoft in particular.  Count me among the those who don't like any of their products.  I don't like the fact that they use the public to beta test their software.  "Ooops, time for another 'service pack'..."  I don't like their dubious (read: illegal) business practices, which are as well documented as they are notorious.  I also don't like their "upgrade forever" business model, which is an inducement to create sh1t software; this is an area in which they excel (no pun).  If this makes me an "ms-hater", oh well.  But to simply ignore these things or pretend they are not true, one must be blind, mute and illiterate. Either that, or an "ms-hater's" opposite:"ms-lover".

According to PC World's "The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time" on May 26th of last year, it was:

1. America Online (1989-2006)

Vista still has a quite dismal showing to make before it can steal that crown.

Edit: article does not show from that link, hmm, but did come up in a Google search... go figure.

Don't try instead, history is being rewritten... (Links no longer reliable.) :-)

The poll is actually for the most annoying tech product.

And for that I nominate the....
