15 Biggest Tech Disappointments of 2007

No surprise that Microsoft heads the list of tech disappointments for 2007. Apple comes in second with its iPhone price cut and multiple Leopard faults.

I don't understand why some products are on that list, considering critical and market success, and lack of heavy bashing against them (unlike Vista ;D). Also, as always happens with these kind of lists, they're too U.S. centered, half of what's mentioned there does not bother the rest of the world.

One of my biggest disappointments: flash- and hybrid drive performance (or the lack of it), especially considering their insane pricetags. But it'll hopefully get better & cheaper, to the point where we'll all go zooooom.

That's because the rest of the world doesn't matter. :P

Actually, I think it's because most of these lists are written by US companies/websites so all they know is US tech, plus they're writing for a US audience.
