Song of The Day: Bugs - Artist: Pearl Jam

PC World announced its fifteen biggest disappointments of 2007. The funny thing is that they appear to indicate angst for all new, popular tech products in 2007 :). Perhaps they should get a new gig to renew their “love” for innovation. For example, Leopard is #8, iPhone #5, and Facebook #3? Sure, they all have their issues, but those rankings?

The list appears to pinpoint pre-announced products or products with high-expectations, but kept wondering how Amazon’s Kindle didn’t make the list. Although the Kindle link and review end positive, it–like most reviews–invoke the sympathy vote! “It looks awful, but give Jeff a chance.” Aesthetic appeal is now in Amazon, thanks to Apple. Even Cherry 2000 would have had issues making the drab, beige box look appealing.

However, I couldn’t agree more with the #1 spot: Windows Vista. Having exhausted, never to be reclaimed, 7 hours of my life with an “update,” I can’t even fathom SP1. Long in coming, I don’t know anyone that had an easy installation or upgrade with Vista (i.e., except for ones that bought new PCs pre-installed).
