Software Hall of Shame

I read a cool series of articles on bad software in IEEE Spectrum over the weekend:

Who Killed the Virtual Case File?

Why Software Fails
http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/WEBONLY/publicfeature/sep05/0905fail.html

The Exterminators

Software Hall of Shame
http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/WEBONLY/publicfeature/sep05/0905failt1.html

They are both motivating and depressing - all at the same time.
