I finally broke down. I gave up Noscript in order to switch from Firefox to Safari.

Haven't missed it a second.

IIS 7.

Functionality is obviously fine, but holy crap it's like they intentionally tried to make every setting impossible to find in the UI.

Windows command prompt is just completely awful.

Original Party Poker software was pretty lol.

Re: Software Hall of Shame - Your picks

Internet Explorer good grief. I had to use a company computer without Administrator access for about a week recently and IE was just painful.

Re: Software Hall of Shame - Your picks

IE blows, and always has.

I use Chromium and Firefox. There's other browsers I occasionally dip my fingers into and check out but these two are pretty simple and streamlined enough to run swiftly.
