Ouch. As Cnet are among the more reputable at reviewing products, this revelation has to annoy some people at Microsoft.

Coming in at number 10 on the 'Top 10 Terrible tech Products' list, Cnet had this to say about Vista:

"Any operating system that provokes a campaign for its predecessor's reintroduction deserves to be classed as terrible technology. Any operating system that quietly has a downgrade-to- previous-edition option introduced for PC makers deserves to be classed as terrible technology. Any operating system that takes six years of development but is instantly hated by hordes of PC professionals and enthusiasts deserves to be classed as terrible technology."

Also making the list was one of our own personal 'love-to-hates', the Sony Rootkit.

Read the rest and see the complete top 10 list. Feel free to nominate a product you think is deserving of including in the list.
