Technology Topic

Originally posted by drewhigginsJust thought I'd put up the 10 worst tech products as voted by CNet.co.uk. Surprisingly, the iPod classic didn't get in there.

10. Windows Vista: The worst operating system ever released? Next to Windows ME, yep.

9. Sony Rootkit CDs: Anything that installs software without your permission is bad.

8. Amstrad E-m@iler Telephone: Would you pay 12p to send an email?

7. Atari Jaguar: Should Atari have abandoned operations? Of course.

6. Apple Puck Mouse: Sold for less than six months. I wonder why?

5. Tamagotchi: It works great as a distraction for your kids, but even better with no batteries.

4. Gizmondo: A reason GameBoy clones should be discontinued.

3. The Squircle: Rated the lowest score ever on CNet. It looks like shit, acts like shit and is shit.

2. Barcode Battler: If you've ever played Hitman, he has one of these for neck-to-neck entertainment.

1. Sinclair C5: Top speed 15mph. At least you can go 1mph faster than old people on scooters.

Puck mouses? Was that meant to be a piece of Pucked crap?

Nothing's as bad as Windows Vista. No service or care from that company.

I run vista on my mac for PC games. The games run well, but the rest of it is crap.

Used Media Center? What version you running, Home Basic / Home Premium / Business / Ultimate?

There are several bits in Vista that I do like:

- Media Center (top of the list) not as good as MCE2005
- Windows Media Player (works way better than XP)
- Windows Movie Maker (now supports recorded TV shows)

I don't like:

- The new glassy interface (Aero) - it just looks butchered
- How long it takes to copy a file (check it out below)

- Poor compatibility with existing security programs and burning programs (Nero)
