Hmm. Nothing about the infamous divide bug. Nothing about the 486 SX/DX swindle. Nothing about the Alice-in-Wonderland segmentation-on-acid addressing scheme and steam-powered pipe-organ instruction set Intel is finally digging itself out of.

This isn't isn't an "all time 10 worst" list, it's a "last few years 10 worst" list, which makes it all the scarier.

In my three years of owning my own PC, I've ran into 4 of these 10 fiascos. Guess I'm going with AMD next time!
