What apps do you hate ?

[Kreuger]

iTunes/Quicktime. Real Media Player. Windows Media Player. Anything Java. WLMessenger/MSGPlus.

[SiCKX]

Quicktime + iTunes.

By the looks of it, no other software can beat these. :laugh:

[Auroka]

sorry but years trumps months.

whereas over the same and many more years, Winrar is more stable, opens ALL files and extracts ALL files, with better shell integration (No I don't need some annoying GUI for my extraction purposes), and it's faster. and it's not based around a ****ty format where to get to a single txt file in a huge archive it needs to extract the whole archive first.

Guess it just doesn't meet your expectations. It does everything I need it to do...

Plus I don't want to spend money on Winrar or live off a trial version of it

I've yet to see a music player use more resources then iTunes :/

[brentaal]

(No I don't need some annoying GUI for my extraction purposes)

Are you implying that you can't do all file extracting functions through the Windows shell with 7-zip?

[morphen]

RealMedia (just showed my age on that one).

+1

and even the format...RM just plain sucked..even when it was new :p

[morphen]

Blasphemy, look left.

iTunes and Quicktime, Apple's software division for windows must be underfunded or something.

If i ran a software/hardware company, and was "forced" to support other software platforms, I would never make my software run

as great on the other platforms as it would on my own :p

Itunes and quicktime are their biggest advertising for MacOSX and Mac's :p

"Oh, so you run that cra... I mean Windows", "if you had a mac you wouldn't have those problems".

I steer away from crap like itunes... been doing so since it rearranged my own music folder system to suit it own needs (early windows version, long time ago, it may not do that anymore?) If and apple employer had been near me that day, he would have magically passed away :p

and don't get me started on quicktime :p when i need it, i just use quicktime alternative ;)

[Frylock86]

QuickTime

iTunes

JAVA

AOL Desktop

Real Player

Browser Toolbars

In no particular order :)

[myxomatosis]

Adobe Flash.

This crap must die!

[tiagosilva29]

Sure you can, you can also use a whip to flagellate yourself.

What's annoying about it? Take a screenshot of the current Explorer instance, while we're at it.

[Lezard]

ITUNES:devil: Made by the devil and mohammed...

[BoneyardBrew Member]

My most hated programs. I refuse to install them on any of my computers no matter the circumstance.

PC:

• Quicktime
• iTunes
• Java

[Hot]

I can't really think of anything that bad that I had to use on either PC or Mac. But Apple software on PC is pretty bad as others have pointed out. Some antivirus software is also atrocious.

[amon91]

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!

[Fraud OS 11]

I hate Windows Explorer in Windows 7 and Vista :angry: more than anyone else could hate anything. :D The shell team completely blew it.

[riceBox]

iTunes, Java, Browser Toolbars. :pinch:

Hmm. I've been using 7-zip exclusively for about 4 years now. I have NOT ONCE had it cause an error or not open a file.

I don't understand all the Java hate. Maybe if we were 10 years in the past, but nowadays Java is a very quick, polished language.

iTunes would be my pick. I like the interface, but it's poorly coded, locks up, huge, and interfaces poorly with their own music players

[smokn]

As said before .. All Java apps...

And MSE ... People are just crazy about it ... but when comes to me , it's not as light as avira .. and just runs horribly on my PC .

[homeboyrocketshoulders]

Hate? Itunes, Quicktime, and Realplayer. I absolutely refuse to install those on my machines.

Adobe reader gets an honorable mention. I try to avoid it, but I cant say I hate it.

[LiquidSolstice]

iTunes without a doubt. All I need is something that can interface with an iPod. No, I do not want fifty bajilion updaters, no, I do not want the Bounjour service, and no, I SURE as hell do not want or need Quicktime (I have VLC for a reason) but they don't give me a ****ing choice, do they?

Also, I hate flash.The majority of my daily browsing doesn't require Flash (I think YouTube is the spawn of human stupidity, so I stay away from it). The only great implementation of Flash that I can think of is Grooveshark.That's a wonderful site.

Also, I hate the HELL out of WLM. Such a piece of trash. I want IMing and nothing else, I don't want ads, I don't want all sorts of social networking integrated, and Trillian does for me in a 15MB application more than WLM can do with a 60MB setup file.

[Gladiatorus]

[devHead]

PC: iTunes. I loathe that piece of crap. Damn Apple for forcing me to use it with my iPod Touch.

+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.

[sullysnet]

Adobe Flash.

This crap must die!

:pint:

[John.D]

Anything made by Nortons / Symantec. It'll either crash or die sooner or later, if you get infected. And its bloated.

Same goes for Nero. Same goes for anything made by Google, inc their browser. They're too nosy. And puts crap on your system, you don't need.

I don't use file sharing programs like Utorrent etc. I have no need for them.

I use Itunes sometimes (I wouldn't if I could get something free to sync contacts). I use that more than syncing songs / videos. Altho, there are other free programs around (Winamp, Mediamonkey. Songbird etc).

I wouldn't use Office either, if there was a free program that could sync contacts to an Ipod (I would probably use Openoffice for other things). Thunderbird, IMO is useless. It takes at least 20-30 mins just to configure the thing, to get email to work (wish they wouldn't make it, so it "guesses" your ISP server info). Because, its usually wrong. Don't like Adobe reader either (there are smaller and better programs around - Foxit, Sumatra PDF etc).

[Shayla]

iTunes,QuickTime,Adobe Updater,Adobe Flash,Real products,Ashampoo products,VLC v1.1.4 (font cache still not fix),all AV products except MSE and Malwarebytes.

[Xerxes]

Why all the hate for iTunes? it's rock solid for me never crashes, quite fast and been using it for years without hassles! (I mainly use in on Windows, hardly touch the OSX version on my Mac Mini). The software I hate the most is Java apps, can't stand programming in Java and can't stand apps that are written in it! *arg!*
