Unpatched

These are the reasons why I refuse to work with Internet Explorer : 32 unpatched security holes, from which one is a big SSL hole, which is already known for months at Microsoft.

Most bugs are at most annoying, but in these cases, proof is given that some of them can be devastating. The most famous one I recall is the failure of one of the NASA Mars probes, that crashed into the red planet, because different units were used by different teams.
