http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,125772-page,2-c,techindustrytrends/article.html AOL worst tech product of all time (#1).
My college gave all it's student Windows ME (worst #3); it was the worst program to use, and everyone at my college started out with RealPlayer (worst #3) and RealJukebox, and Internet Explorer (worst #8), and yes, the college started to let you check out zipdrives for saving data (worst #15) becuase they toke out any burning software from your laptop. No wonder everyone at my college hated their laptops.
