:The 10 biggest failures in IT history
The 10 biggest failures in IT history
Nov 1, 2009, 08 :03 UTC (12 Talkback[s]) (13090 reads)

(Other stories by Jack Wallen)

"1: Windows Vista
What a disaster! Could Microsoft have assembled a bigger failure if it tried? Well, possibly. But Microsoft wasn’t trying to make a failure — it was trying to make the best of the best. The result was the worst of the best.

"2: NeXT
I have to qualify this entry, because NeXT did inspire a lot of software for the Linux desktop (such as AfterStep), and the NeXTSTEP did eventually become the foundation of OS X. So NeXT wasn’t a complete flop.

"3: BeOS"
