What's The Greatest Web Software Ever?
An anonymous reader writes "What's The Greatest Web Software Ever Written?, Charlie Babcock of InformationWeek asks, in his follow up to last year's widely read list of greatest software period. The winner then was BSD 4.3. The new Top 12 list is a little funky in that it doesn't distinguish between apps, sites, and controls — XMLHttpRequest object set — is one of the winners. It includes many of the usual suspects, like Digg and AIM, along with some unexpected winners. (like World of Warcraft) The number one choice however, Apache server, is arguably correct."
WoW is far better than Apache.
Thanks for mentioning Vista a couple of times in your post. We hear in the Vista marketing team really appreciate it when Vista gets a mention. I inspires us in the Vista family to really work to make Vista the best Vista that it can be.
Thanks again for mentioning Vista. Now I'm off to sit on my balcony with a cold beer and enjoy the Vista.
Yours etc

Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
What about "Radar Rat Race" or "little computer people"? One of these has to be the greatest software ever.

I mean, it's going to be! Right?
Well, it has to be to me anyhow... ever since my copy of BLAZEMONGER actually self destructed (taking my Amiga with it) because I *thought* about making a backup copy of it in case it got worn out.
That's copy protection! At least I didn't have to call their customer support.

Common, we already know the winner, it was Windows 9x. This series of OS's created the internet we know today, full of spam, botnets, popups, porn popups that come up when you least want them, and open 5 more popups if you try to close them, god forbid anyone doesn't have anti-virus software installed, eating away at their CPU and memory utilization, and no one complains anymore for having to reboot their computer just to close a browser window.
So thank you Windows, we have been raped by your presence and wish you a mantel in hell.
How else do you think Al Gore was able to design all the tubes that several of the internets run on!

You think resisting censorship is childish? Why don't you just go over to fark and ridicule hippies for being idealistic, and pastafarians for being attention whores? You'll fit in really well over there.

The greatest software in the world has indeed been written, and the importance of this breakthrough cannot be overestimated.
Of course, he means 4.3BSD.

It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
You are about to enjoy yourself.

I wouldn't be surprised. Directions from Edinburgh to my house involve me committing suicide a quarter of a mile from home.
