1 Norton Antivirus resources resources resources resources and never uninstalls completely.
2 Mahjong (game) it's really diabolic those little images. but i still play
3 Any HP software... too difficult and tricky
4 V-Ray for Sketchup. OMG this first release is full of bugs, is not a complete engine render and the trial version expires in 30 days without any good render (for beginners like me).
5 Artlantis Render. FOUR years, 2 licenses, many disappointments. although sometimes resolve the problem (in it's way) it's too far from "professional".
6 Tie:
Adobe Acrobat. too big and lots of registry settings just for read and create pdfs
Windows
Office 2007 yes is an alien. I hope can change autocad 2009 interface or will be the next in the line
1 Xplorer2. Try it and love it! very cheap, very useful, and you can talk directly with the boss
2 firefox. the pluggings make it so powerful.
3 Sketchup of course!
4 google (for search and mail) I remember nine - ten years ago the first time i saw a non-DOS pc image was google. until now i don't shut down my pc without giving it use.
5 MS Excel (until 2003!) is a blessing for data.
6 Photoshop -
I have to say that I can't STAND Vectorworks!
After a decade of AutoCAD it feels like some kind of toy. Call it VagueCAD and you would have a better idea. Even after four years of use I can't stand it... nasty! (we're still on V11.5 BTW)
After that I think OS X finder is pretty crap.

We use Microstation at work and I absolutely hate it! There are like 1000 different icons (exaggeration) to choose from that do the exact same thing. I guess it doesn't help that I was taught AutoCAD in community college! I find it is much faster just to type in the command rather than having to go to find the damn icon! AutoCAD is much more user friendly IMO...
Anyone else agree with me on this that actually uses Microstation?

No, but oddly enough I have a bunch of notes from a Bentley VP trying to get the school where I teach to buy into it. We're actually more interested (or rather, fellow SCF member and my department head Diego Matho is more interested) in their über-BIM package Generative Components (Norman Foster and Thom Mayne "approved," I should add). But GC needs Microstation just the same way Revit really needs ACAD.
I'll keep your reservations in mind.

CabinetVision from what is now Planit Software. http://www.planit.com/
Not just "bad awful", but VERY expensive... ~$3500. (US) for my one person machine. Complete with dongle.
I bought it on a credit card, and I'm so glad I did, as I was able to dispute the charge and get a refund. Major crapola.
They had phone support, which I was able to use 2 times a day. I say 2 times a day, because after being on hold for 45 minutes each time I called, and then discussing the problem for a hour and learning the workaround, I could only afford to do that twice in a day. I would have read the manual, but they didn't have one. I would have figured it out during the trial, but they didn't offer one of those either.
Oh, the pain. Don't make me think about it any more.

DirectX- somehow its managed to become messed up on my comp, although you cant uninstall it like any other program, it embeds itself in to the OS to the degree that your talking major regedites to remove it or a clean install, neither of which i can be bothered with.

I think the worst software I've ever used is the graphics program of the Architectural Registration Exam. There's too many steps involved for each task.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk2sPl_Z7ZU&feature=relatedMS Paint. . .very useful.. . .NOT! I remember a funny video that spoofed the creation of Paint (I wish I could find it) All I remember is. .
"Computers can create up to 26 million colors. We found that just too many to handle effectively, so we here at MS Paint reduced it to 12. . .but the 12 colors most used and desired by people just like yourself!"
Hilarious

I've use it professionally for an award-winning render house, own my own license, and I still hate it. And I hate Autodesk's damned extortion ("subscription") scheme. I'll take Blender any day for rendering/animation, and Rhino and SketchUp for modeling.
