Top ten terrible tech products

Windows Vista
Any operating system that provokes a campaign for its predecessor's
reintroduction deserves to be classed as terrible technology. Any
operating system that quietly has a downgrade-to-previous-edition option
introduced for PC makers deserves to be classed as terrible technology.
Any operating system that takes six years of development but is instantly
hated by hordes of PC professionals and enthusiasts deserves to be classed
as terrible technology.
Windows Vista conforms to all of the above. Its incompatibility with
hardware, its obsessive requirement of human interaction to clear security
dialogue box warnings and its abusive use of hated DRM, not to mention its
general pointlessness as an upgrade, are just some examples of why this
expensive operating system earns the final place in our terrible tech
list.
