15 Biggest Tech Disappointments of 2007

I just knew what their No1 worst product would be and I don't really agree as Vista, though not as fast as XP, is sorta ok.

From on-demand video services that were overly demanding, to underwhelming operating-system updates, 2007 was full of disappointments.

We surveyed the landscape and polled some old friends to come up with the 15 products, companies, and industries that left the most sour taste in our mouths.

From last to first, here's our list of the year's biggest losers. Read 'em and weep.

No surprise that Vista is there first pick as "No1 worst product"

A good friend recently bought a new laptop with Vista, and he is very disappointed to say the least!

I disagree on the new zunes. I think they are pretty awesome.

They are basically ipods without crappy itunes. Cant get any better than that. :lol:

EDIT:

Just noticed that they listed office 07 as well. Sorry but office 07 is pretty rockin too. The contextual spelling, smart art(basically awesome pre made charts), and the ribbon make it way better. If I had office 03 I wouldn't have got it but it is a great product.

The biggest tech disappointment this year for me was the PS3, solely because of it's price tag. I'm sure that motto will change when they do another price cut though because I seriously want one but I'm not willing to pay the $399 USD starting price, and refuse to get a used one.

I disagree on the new zunes. I think they are pretty awesome.

The Zune player is nice itself. However not too long ago I tried the Zune software to find out if I could stand it, and I hated it. Basically I think it's just a re-skinned WMP11 which I also don't like so no Zune for me, no iPod either just because of the iTunes software.

many people would just buy the PS3 for a Media Center and for a cheap BluRay Player. Zune Software is crap and so is WMP11. Vista... bah... we know already :lol:

Zune? Ehh.. it has its ups but i have something far better.

i agree with rridgely regarding Office 2007, well it rocks! :D hehe... :lol:

I've heard that Office 07 is pretty bad for the fact that Microsoft went and screwed up the whole interface --- the huge circle in the upper left hand corner is the most....IDK...asinine thing ever...it breaks with all logic from all of their other programs.... IDK.... I'm using 03 and am very happy with it.
