It`s a round robin tossup between:
Windows ME
Fedora Core 2
Fedora 9
Windows Vista

What's wrong with Fedora? I've never tried it, but I've heard good things about it.
EDIT: I don't think I've really had any crappy OS's. I mean, the old-school Mac OS before they came out with OSX weren't great, but for their time they were OK. I suppose MacOS 9.2 actually never worked properly, and after it failed my family stuck with 9.1 until OSX was introduced.

Fedora Core 2, the mouse and ALSA lib would not configure properly.
Fedora 9 is a bloated pig of an OS that is slowed down immensely by YUM, as well as the very high rescorces that KDE 4.0 uses. You cannot configure packages after system install. --It `s about as much of a pain to use as Win Vista.
--I`ve just installed Ubuntu, and like that much better, oddly enough, as I didn`t particularly like an older version of that distro.

Windows ME (fondly remembered as Mistake Edition in my house)...And I'm gonna switch to something else before I use Vista. Just not gonna happen.

MS-DOS is what Windows is built off of. Its not User-Friendly but is stable and lightweight. |

It's a toss-up between Windows ME and Fedora.
