We all love Microsoft.
Okay, that’s notentirelytrue.
The software you’re about to see - the worst Microsoft products - suggests otherwise.
I’m going to warn you: this article is not for the faint of heart.
The things you’re about to see will irratate, annoy and otherwise decrease the quality of your life.
It’s not too late to stop reading.
It is now, however.
Guess you’re stuck reading about the Top 5 Free Worst Microsoft Products.
But that’s hardly a compliment.
Because that’s all I ever use Internet Explorer for: downloading Firefox.
Do yourself a favor anddownload Firefoxtoo"you’ll thank me later.
Alternatively, check outGoogle’s Chrome, or evenApple’s Safari.
Just like, don’t use Internet Explorer 8.
I discussed the Blue Screen of Death Screensaver during a recent article onpranking your parents using the family computer.
Why does Microsoft offer this?
Don’t download theBlue Screen of Death Screensaver.
#3: Microsoft Office Dinosaur Screensaver
Anyway, there’s a screensaver based on those ads.
Yep, that’s right: the least memorable advertising campaign immortalized as a screensaver.
Yeah, I don’t really think so either.
Don’t download theMicrosoft Office Dinosaur Screensaver.
#2: Plus!
Dancer LE
Sure, you like your machine now, but imagine if you could download dancers for it.
Then your desktop could be a dancing party!
Look, they even have Scooby-Doo!
What really makes this piece of software so great is that it’s not at all annoying.
Having someone dance on my desktop is awesome.
And it’s soooo practical!
Think of how much easier getting work done will be now that Scooby-Doo is dancing in front of everything!
Okay, yeah, that was sarcasm.
File this one under “bad ideas executed poorly.”
This unholy matrimony between awesome and awful disturbed me so much that I had to check it out.
I have nothing but regrets.
There’s a search bar…but it only uses Bing.
There’s a news button…but it only shows MSNBC.
There’s an email button…but it only connects to Hotmail.
You get the idea.
It’s as if it’s trying to waste precious screen space.
But there’s more.
I tried turning off the computer, but that only made my computer laugh at me manically.
There is no cancelling an installation of the Bing Toolbar.
It’s evil and will corrupt your setup with dark magic.
I spent last night sobbing silently into my pillow, not sleeping at all.
Don’t download theBing Toolbar for Firefox.
Conclusion
Not every free offering from Microsoft is terrible.
I personally thinkMicrosoft Security Essentialsis the best antivirus on the market, and it’s 100 percent free.
In a few days' time, Mahendra will prove this point by showcasing the best 5 Microsoft products.
Having said that, there are no redemptive qualities to any of the software mentioned above.
Do not download them.
