At PC World, we spend most of our time talking about products that make your life easier or your work more productive. But it's the lousy ones that linger in our memory long after their shrinkwrap has shriveled, and that make tech editors cry out, "What have I done to deserve this?"
Still, even the worst products deserve recognition (or deprecation). So as we put together our list of World Class winners for 2006, we decided also to spotlight the 25 worst tech products that have been released since PC World began publishing nearly a quarter-century ago
1. America Online (1989-2006)
2. RealNetworks RealPlayer (1999)
3. Syncronys SoftRAM (1995)
4.Microsoft Windows Millennium (2000)
5.Sony BMG Music CDs (2005)
Full list and reasons(opinions) here http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=2616&ncid=2616&e=27&u=/pcworld/20060526/tc_pcworld/125772
