What's wrong with the Moog?! It takes me right back to the early 80s.

Seriously, though, at least they had a concept in mind for that one (making it look / work like the real thing) instead of most of these atrocities. I feel like there was a dark period from around 1998 or so through the mid-2000s where (maybe it started with WinAmp skins?) bad developers realized their windows didn't have to follow the tried-and-true SDI/MDI model and really went out of control. Also, it seems like a high proportion of these disasters come out of audio and video card manufacturers -- what's up with that?
