For me this is a tie between two os's.
Lindows aka Linspire 5, oh how I hate that OS, I mean it was never completed properly, buggy and down right unstable. I suppose charging for the whole "click and run" thing didn't help.
How can I forget Windows ME, I thought it was the most, uselss, unstable piece of cr@p that Microsoft ever came out with. Kept on crashing for no damn reason, although I must be grateful some of Windows ME's (decent inovations) went into XP.
Whats the worst OS you have tried?

Whats the worsiest OS you have ever tried?

MS Windows Millennium, then Vista... I really hate the search feature in Vista, it doesn't work worth a sh*t, it is cumbersome and it is slow...

At this point I will have to throw my vote to Vista as the worst OS. I had ME and really didn't have much of a problem with it. Vista is another animal all together

~Changed topic name, 'worset' isn't correct English. 'Worsiest' ain't either, but it explains that it's even worse then worst!

Whoa- you read my mind, my picks exactly.
I had a terrible time trying to set up Linspire- and ME, everyone knows about that.
You were right, there were some innovations with ME- they just were in the wrong OS.
I don't think saying Vista is fair- final version isn't out yet. Hey, but doesn't the RTM release this week? Or is it next? I really want to try the final version before I make a decision.
