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 :(

SAP,

anything mainframe related,

our help desk software (a heavily modified journal in Outlook 98),

Event Viewer, to look up locked accounts (it may take minutes to find info when everyone in the company is logging in at the same time)

Exceed (Unix product)

Norton Antivirus,

Windows XP networking

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know that.

    • Onwards to Windows 12 then lol.
    • There is a long thread (128pgs and counting) that I've been following over at ElevenForums that has a method for updating Secure Boot even if there is no BIOS upgrade. I've used this method and had zero issues. NOTE:  I do not take any responsibility if this or any other Secure Boot method bricks your system -- YMMV!  Read carefully before using!
    • Yes, yes, YES, thank you AMD. Now display audio, night light, cleartype, etc, all work again.
