So-called upgrades that ruin good programs are incredibly infuriating.

This topic is general enough to use its own thread!

AdBlock and AdBlock Edge come to mind. I happen to have two copies of AdBlock Edge on two different browsers, and to my dismay one sat there and refused to block a graphic?!

Then I tried it in the other browser and it did! So I looked and sure enough, it was a different (and older) version!

Echos my feelings about PaintShop Pro.

Version 6 was brilliant.  :-* Version 7 still ok.  :)

It was nothing but annoying after that. At least AFAIC.   :-\

Any office with ribbon (i.e. 2007 and newer).
Especially when imposed on you on a tiny netbook screen.

I never used v6 but I adore v7  :-*, and I agree with you about every version afterward, especially any since Corel bought it.

Windows Media Player, which got destroyed somewhere between Win98 and WinME.

Winamp, which was destroyed in one of the updates to v5.

3M post-it Notes, I documented what happened with that, here.

I recently upgraded Ubuntu and wanted to smack myself for it.

The MSN/WLM --> Skype "upgrade" forced on everyone still has me fuming.
