"Blogs gush about them. PR campaigns blow millions on them. News anchors announce their arrival like they're members of state. And the rest of us suffer when they utterly fail to deliver. They're overhyped tech products, and unfortunately, we've run across quite a few of them through the years. Here are a few of our favorites, or at least, the ones we most bitterly remember."

some points are valid...

but imo..

the writer should be shot for vista definitely...

it wasn't hyped... at ALL.... the PR campaign for it was non excistant really... i don't recall even seeing a TV add for it before and even after it launched. it had an anti-hype pirade.... before (people screaming over RC2) and after....
