Sorry, I missed the hands-down winner in my initial thinking,
since it's not in my arena [hardware]..

The envelope please..

        Micro$loth Lookout....

{applause}

Starting with "Let's invent top-posting" and moving to its
virus-spreading abilities; Lookout has never met a standard, either
hard [written/RFC] or not [consensus] that it could not wound/kill.

Further, it damages the thinking of its users almost as well
as drug dealers wares -- be that crack or this week's over-hyped
anti-depress^H^H^H mood-fixer. It's the Newspeak of the current
era.
