I dithered quite a bit over posting this link because, well, my employer's dial-up service is on the list, and it ain't near the bottom (and I can't say as I disagree). But what the heck:
The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time from PC World is an excellent list of the crappiest of the crappy and the cruftiest of the crufty. A few gems on the list: Windows ME, Microsoft Bob, Internet Explorer 6, and Comet Cursor. It's not all software, though: Lots of hardware flops make the cut, including one that's near and dear to my heart, IBM's PCjr., the first computer I called my own.

Funny you don't mention #1 is AOL and #2 RealPlayer, before the MS "gems" you're happy to laugh at.

Uh, Liam, I mentioned AOL in the very first sentence, albeit not by name. I didn't mention RealPlayer because it didn't seem right to give away the top two. And it didn't occur to me until I read your comment that three of the four programs I mentioned are Microsoft products. Oh well.
