The older Windows and Mac versions of RealPlayer totally blew chunks and are worthy of being high up on that list. Spyware galore for Windows, ugly GUI and general bugginess on the Mac. The current RealPlayer for Mac OS X isn't bad at all, but it feels like most of the content for Real has faded away.
I don't think the Zip drive should be on the list, either. There were many far worse products.
The Pippin was never actually released, IIRC. So why is it on the list?
The CueCat failed at its original application, but it was pretty neat how other programmers were able to hack it and do some neat stuff with it.
Microsoft Word 6 for Macintosh deserves to be on that list. Any version of Norton Utilities for Macintosh after, say, 3.5.1 (IIRC) -- or after Apple switched over to HFS+ -- should be on the list, as well.
