What's the Greatest Software Ever Written?
f0dder:
Heh, they list Java but not C/C++? Java innovation my ass.
app103:
opening floodgates...
The first BBS software?
And didn't Windows open floodgates along with IBM by helping make computers usable and affordable to the common person...like your Grandma...not just business?
And what about AOL? They opened up the floodgates to the internet for the masses by making it so easy.
And Turbo Pascal? Delphi? Visual Basic? You don't need to be a total geek to write software any more.
and...
WHAT ABOUT ATARI'S PONG???!!!!! ;D
(I shouldn't have to tell you how important that was and why)
Renegade:
"Greatest" means what, in other words. All I could vote for would be "most useful to me" - probably IrfanView. ;D

zridling:
Perhaps the author misnamed his list. Seems that "Most Influential Software Ever Written" is more appropriate to his choices.
mouser:
yeah those items make a bit more sense in that context. still debatable but more defensible for sure.
