Programs you hate?


Question

Here is a list of Programs tha tI hate, you can post your list too ;)

1. Real Player:

I hate this program and the .rm format because it is slow and buggy, MP3, WMA, and OGG media is smaller and sounds better. You cant get free encoders for it, and they dont let other programs open .rm files :(

2. AOL (And the AOL ISP Service):

I hate this program and service because it is slow, unreliable, has more sercurity holes then I have money, and its features suck compared to other free products :(

3. Window Blinds:

For me this program lets me use really slow skins that suck up valubal resources on my computer, and every time I tried a skin, it looked 10x better in the screenshot demos then it really did on my system. I also dont like the false advertizing and other non factual info they give you about the program to get you to buy it :(

4. Invision Power Board:

I like the software a lot, but I *HATE* the defualt skin, and almost every site I see these days use it because the owners are to lazy to change it :(

Netscape

RealPlayer

Quicktime (only because I can't play .mov files in any other player

Winamp3 (bloatware to the extreme.... new skinning abilities = dumb

MS Outlook

AOL

Imesh (the worst case of spyware ever conceived)

Windows Blinds

CursorXP (too much system resources for this to be of any good use)

Minor issues:

Ad-aware and that noise when it completes... goddamn it's startled me on more than a few occasions

WMP9 needs better skinning options.

Irfanview has a horribly outdated look, but it's great viewer.

Winamp 3.0 - No reason really, I just prefer 2.81.

RealONE - Crashes up the wazoo!

Roxio CD Creator - Really crappy program, not many options. Once I discovered Ahead Nero, all my problems were solved.

And to everyone saying AOL sucks, check this out...

Maybe some of you should actually use windowblinds before you knock it. At least have used it in the past year.

Number uno on the list: Windows. Any version. They all suck

Imesh: more spyware installs with this than things you can download from it

Realmedia: bleh

EDIT: There's also some dvd software that installs on the computer when you stick in a dvd. Is it Friendly player? can't remember the name.

Those dumb Gator programs....bonzi buddy...

I'm surprised to see so many people say that the Real One Player sucks. My kid installed it on my computer and I was ****ed at first but after giving it a whirl, I'm duly impressed. Music and DVD's play flawlessly on it and it kicks a$$ when it comes to burning CD's.

Anyway, programs I hate? Can't think of any other than spyware programs which I think it's safe to say everyone despises.

How can anyone hate AOL? Noobs need an ISP venue just like everyone else! Also, it makes the internet available to gramps and gran!

    • Yup, broke my comp… again. its times like this when I regret AMD. This just never happens on NV.
    • Huh? You're delusional calling the Steam Deck dead. It is so successful that it has sold out multiple times. Even after the price hike this year it sold out again with 24 hours of being back in stock. The demand is real and has not died down even after four years.
    • Same place "Unreal III" is, in everyone's thoughts!
    • So how much water is used in that "initial charge" and how often will it need to be recharged?
