What apps do you hate ?

-iTunes is the new RealPlayer, QuickTime still sucks.

-IE Browser Toolbars. I will remove them from any PC I have 5 sec alone with. Pay it forward.

-7ZIP, another ugly program for cheapskates. On that tangent anyone running WinZip on XP and later, if you actually bought it I might slap you.

But above and beyond those...

Foxit Reader. There hasn't been an excuse for your existence since Reader 6. Acrobat doesn't suck so much anymore and XPS is a viable alternative. Stop using something that is going to make any well designed form look and act like ****. We don't need a PDF 'browser war'. And on top of that, since some harebrained retards coded you, if uninstalled you will probably roach the chance for IE to render PDF's correctly without invasive procedures for the foreseeable future. **** YOU!

Anything that uses a fancy and often buggy look instead of the native Windows one. You get the picture. I'm looking at you iTunes!

Yea I kinda agree with that, I hated Steam's old UI (The flat green style). The new Steam UI isn't perfect but it was a much needed improvement.

Its nice to see more programs using Aero in their UI: FF4, Chrome, Inbox2, Paint.NET, etc...

[Xilo]

OpenOffice

Flash

Gimp

Java

iTunes

Safari

7zip

Windows Live Messenger

VLC

Classic Steam

Norton

Outlook

[psreloaded]

All and any browser toolbars !

Everything from Google, exept Gmail (but not as main account), Earth and Chrome (but. Chrome not as main browser).

Nero 7,8,9,10 - bloated as hell and useless.

Outlook Express - it destroys your e-mails

Windows Messenger

Everything from Apple

All spyware (containing) apps, including but not limited to Limewire and Bearshare.

+1 except Nero 7 was OK

I agree with everything else + Almost all stardock application.

[xtrabit racing]

Winamp 5

itunes

quicktime

openoffice

mse

windows defender

spider solitaire:)

and...

duke nukem forever

[Nikv]

+1 on that one! My wife has to use it for her iPod Touch, and iTunes is the worse piece of garbage there is! It is so frustrating sometimes. I dread having to be forced to install iTunes 10.

There are free programs that work with your iPod you know?

SharePod being one of my favourites.

[RandomGuy1987]

I found interesting web site ( http://www.ihatethisapp.com ) about ****ty applications, I posted mine about iFart. :shifty:

[Ulpian]

OpenOffice

7zip

Well, both do their job. 7-ZIP has bad UI, I agree, but is is execellent application. Very good for people, who MUST have all apps legit and need simple (un)packer. Also 7-zip provides powerful compression with LZMA and large dictionary.

OpenOffice - it is IMO not as good as MS Office, but it works. You can do some (simple?) tasks, inluding opening .doc files, for free.

Also, I agree with Dead'Soul - Windows Defender is BAD.

[Growled Member]

Any of the newer Nero apps. They are terrible.

Anything Apple related!!...but seriously....

Any app that is bloated and filled with other useless addon programs. Why I stopped using Nero, Roxio, CS suits, and many other programs.

Thanks, I'm gonna check this out!

[BubaTuljan]

iTunes sure, also Divx requiring some odd codecs other media players usually don't need and it still asks me to download them even if i did just to view some movie, also nero because there are few programs like it that are free and more user-friendly.

[Anibal P]

Seems to me that all those hating on Java and Flash either need new computers or need to stop listening to all the FUD out there about them

[Quattrone]

-Quicktime

-iTunes

-any Java based app

-most shareware apps

Lmao, my thoughts exactly.

[mr.r9]

Itunes, Adobe reader, VLC, Realplayer...probably more.

Foobar> Itunes.

PDF x-change> Adobe reader.

Potplayer> VLC & Real.

Windows: iTunes and Java.

Apple: Dictionary, Fontbook and Photobooth. All horrifically underdeveloped.

[ZakO]

iTunes, Quicktime, Nero >= v7, Adobe Contribute.

[iKenndac]

iTunes on Windows.

On Mac OS X it's pretty bad, but they care more about branding than making it fit on on its target platform. It's bad on OS X, but awful awful awful on Windows.

[-KJ]

IrfanView... wondeful app, but the logo of the roadkill animal and having it overlay over all the media files I want to associate with it is just ugly. I use XnView now (mainly for .PSD support, but other common picture filetypes open a lot quicker in that program than in Windows... sad really).

[Rygar]

Internet explorer...

[cork1958]

First 2 replies hit it dead on.

Quicktime and Itunes.

I also despise Firefox!!

Way over rated, fanboy based POS!

Go ahead, bring it on!!

[Sadelwo]

All and any browser toolbars !

Amen Brother, amen.

Outlook Express - it destroys your e-mails

And its hell to back up without an Office Outlook installation on the system, I don't understand why in 2010 people with Office Outlook on an XP machine will still try to use Express. If I reinstall an XP machine that's the first thing I remove. Hell Live Mail is better.

Windows Messenger

Another instant remove on any XP reinstall.

All spyware (containing) apps, including but not limited to Limewire and Bearshare.

Add Imesh. I cannot for the love of me why people would soil their systems with that thing. And back to the first one you listed, publishers have maximized on the user's tenancy to click next through every install. Hence the slow IE with toolbars taking up half the screen. :blink:
