http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_1Link05-9821071-1.html?tag=nl.e729

includes the
Tamagotchi (1996) - Yeah I remember that one

I was hoping to NOT find an Apple product but alas there was
"Apple Puck Mouse."
I also hated the "Apple Puck Mouse" that I used in some schools. However the puck was the first mouse to use USB standard as method of connectivity.

But #10 and sneaking in there was drum roll please...... VISTA.
Hurray
-Microsoft was not immune and had a scathing rebuke of Windows Vista

"Any operating system that provokes a campaign for its predecessor's reintroduction deserves to be classed as terrible technology." It was noted for being an operating system that has a downgrade-to- previous-edition option introduced for PC makers deserves to be classed as terrible technology. Took six years of development was 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 (#10)in our terrible tech list. "

But will it make any difference? Most will still supportt Microsoft and buy it
