BentUser reviews what is famous for being Microsoft's worst product of all time - and finds out just exactly what is so terrible about it.



Microsoft just turned 30 recently. For the past 25 years or so, the world’s largest software company has more or less dominated the mass market PC software industry in almost every way. To call Microsoft a successful company would be an understatement. If something is done on a computer anywhere in the world, chances are Microsoft products were involved in some way.

But there is at least one Microsoft product that just, well, never quite caught on. In fact, it bombed famously. I am speaking of none other than Microsoft BOB. In this review we take a look at a product that sold so poorly it was actually cancelled after just one version, 1.0. Was it really as bad/stupid/awful/embarrassing as computing lore would have us believe?
Microsoft BOB - What about Bob?
