Most Annoying Software, No One Spared

This feature on ZDNet UK made me laugh out loud a few times. The site fires well-aimed shots at all the software you love to hate, from the iTunes updater to Java's insistence that you recognize it. As the post says:

Java doesn't do anything by itself. It's a programming language. Programming languages are like sewage plants: if the average user becomes aware of them, something's gone wrong. Java doesn't know this. Java wants to be in your face. Java wants to be updated. Java wants to tell you the good news about Sun. Have you heard about Sun? Here's a nice picture of our logo.
