They are clearly using the term to refer to technological products - ie somehow associated with computers. Thus, the Edsel and BetaMax don't belong on this list.

OS/2 should have been on the list. No matter how good it supposedly was, it failed, and man was it hyped.

And on Vista, I use it daily. I have 5 PCs at home and 2 run Vista, one runs Win7 b7100 and the other two have XP - too underpowered for Vista. I like Vista - been using it in production since Feb 2007. It is still a failure. And the week Win7 goes gold, I'll have zero machines running Vista, and likely only one still running XP. I've found Win7 can run on machines that cannot handle Vista.
