Hello Tech Witches and Wizards
Welcome in to today's cure.
There are thousands of webpages that talk about the best software to use for any cause. And some throw bad reviews about specific software that at times make us hate the entire company as a whole.
Here I am going to present to you the
TOP 5 of the most popular software that one should never use or at least should consider discontinuing.
1)
WINDOWS Vista
I don't think I would have to do much hard work trying to explain this, because it is as simple as
"you know it if you have tried it, else you don't".
When a complete set of Hardware compatibility problems, unknown bugs, bad memory management and a group of red,blue and black screens of death that make frequent visit come together we get the worst Os ever created by Microsoft. One wonders what MS was thinking when they created this.
2)
NORTON Antivirus
Once the the leaders in anti-virus technology, Norton lost its foothold over the same cause against which it was to protect systems against.
Speed!
The performance of the program was irritating that users would shoot themselves due to frustration by the time they finish running a full system scan.
The effect it cased was so devastating that users would tolerate a hundred viruses that slow the system down than install this dreaded beast.
The impact of this kind of popularity is very much evident from their new sales caption
"Stop Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Bots & Spam without Slowing You Down"
3) INTERNET Explorer
"The Titan of the internet technology", "The TITANIC of internet technology" I will call it. The web browser that ruled the cyberspace for about a decade only to prove to everyone that it was the worst one ever made. The extremely slow working of the software only came into notice once better products entered the market, but what was more intolerable was how the pages were rendered in the worst possible condition using 3 times the time other better rendering products would. When a few security flaws too came into notice it was high time for this titans era to end. But what stopped it from evolving into a better product. The companies policy of PROFIT FIRST, CUSTOMER SECOND or just a chance of fate.
4) REAL Player
In a quick sight, this player bring to you nothing but "Great Expectations". With its flashy GUI, shiny controls and Visualizations that pin your eye to the screen the user would expect nothing but the best. But it never was much late before the noticed that within the patched up classy skins the engine was a rusted big piece.
the player handles decoding of media as if its a golf cart cruising a war zone. The rendered of video would make even the blind cry out in pain. But what sealed the fate of this is how heavy the software was, and how it was difficult to both install and remove with out of the world activation methods.
5) QUICK Time
The unavoidable part of Mac and the Must avoid part for Windows. This diabolically scripted software not only crepes deep into the systems architecture and bite in so hard that it would take ages to uninstall it. It has the worst buffering rates and unbearable video quality making it one of the worst media players ever coded. The browser integration along with this makes the web experience a memorable one as you will never forget the painful wait for those small boxes to come up.
Software like any other product hold chances of success and failure. When the product is well engineered and well implemented it can help the creator reach the hall of fame where st times they stay even after their death. But a bad application not only brings loss to the company, but call the hate and curse of the thousands who tried out you application due to misfortune.
So code wise.. . .
Thank you
Till next time bye.
