POLL: Worst Piece of Software

[Cougar]

<< Hmm, ok. I can see that. How about this. Will people list some viable reasons why Linux should be considered the crappiest software made. Though "not very user-friendly" is a legit excuse. It show's more weakness in the user willingness to learn than the software itself.

Because it has a penguin as the mascot.

I'd put my votes in for Microsoft Bob or Lotus "SmartSuite", if the options were there.

They weren't, so I just voted for Linux instead

I never fooled much with Microsoft Bob, but I've installed Lotus Smartsuite a few times. I have NEVER seen any program shove so many things in the system tray. The whole freaking program must have installed itself into the Windows Startup folder. Microsoft Office may be huge, but at least it doesn't load every component known to man into the system tray.

No way, Penguins are cool. Much more creative than some picture of a flying window. I know a girl with a tatoo of Tux on the back of her neck (scary, isn't it).
Windows was designed to be easy to use for people who don't know much about computers and it succeeds at that. (Though I've never used ME)
Linux is made to be powerful, fast, stable, and flexible and it is. To say that it is crappy is just plain silly.

Oh, I forgot to vote. I vote for SAP R/3. If any of you have ever worked somewhere that uses SAP, you know exactly what I mean. It is the most non-intuitive pain in the butt program I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with.
