Top 3
Adobe - many advancements over the past few years
Sourceforge!!! Excellent source for free stuff that works great
Apple (pre 1999) - Most software from apple was nice during this period
Bottom 3
Microsoft - Vista is a travesty of an OS PERIOD. It is a nightmare to customize and tailor to the needs of my clients. Microsoft works (in the past) ironically doesn't work with office. Office 08 for mac has weird and stupid incompatibilities with Windows exchange servers... ugh... theer's plenty more...
Apple - Lets face it - OSX is a memory hog and OSX would be SIGNIFICANTLY faster without all the polished, candy buttons & useless effects. Give me a skin with normal 2D buttons and I would be grateful. The intel switch - making your platform obsolete is a great marketing job, but screws people who bought oh lets say... G5s for 4+ grand (not me). Cyberdog, opendoc.... need I say more?
AOL - Give me a friggin' break. AOL has always been a turd and it continues to do so. If it wasn't for the computer illiterate this company would cease to exist.
