The Worst of Windows
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What are the all-time worst features of Windows? I sure have some candidates for it.
Here’s an amusing - but all-too-true - list of them at this link for a PC World article.
I remember, in the earliest days of Windows, wondering why anyone would abandon DOS - the operating system of choice for PCs at the time - for something so clunky. I still wonder about that at times.
Anyway my own list of clunkers built into Windows would sure include the painfully inadequate defragmenting utility that was used in early versions. It worked about as often as my Uncle Fred and is on my all-time list of e-mail topics from readers trying to figure out how to get it to work.
You may have frustrations of your own - or think the very worst feature of Windows is Windows itself. Feel free to share the pain here if you wish.
