What's The Greatest Web Software Ever? 178
An anonymous reader writes "What's The Greatest Web Software Ever Written?, Charlie Babcock of InformationWeek asks, in his follow up to last year's widely read list of greatest software period. The winner then was BSD 4.3. The new Top 12 list is a little funky in that it doesn't distinguish between apps, sites, and controls — XMLHttpRequest object set — is one of the winners. It includes many of the usual suspects, like Digg and AIM, along with some unexpected winners. (like World of Warcraft) The number one choice however, Apache server, is arguably correct."

Thanks again for mentioning Vista. Now I'm off to sit on my balcony with a cold beer and enjoy the Vista.

What about "Radar Rat Race" or "little computer people"? One of these has to be the greatest software ever.

Well, it has to be to me anyhow... ever since my copy of BLAZEMONGER [blazemonger.com] actually self destructed (taking my Amiga with it) because I *thought* about making a backup copy of it in case it got worn out.
That's copy protection! At least I didn't have to call their customer support.

The greatest software in the world has indeed been written, and the importance of this breakthrough cannot be overestimated [slashdot.org].

I wouldn't be surprised. Directions from Edinburgh to my house involve me committing suicide a quarter of a mile from home.
