I think they deserve the rip, not specifically because of the product itself, but because of their marketing, labeling, etc. It IS useless information overload on their packaging - it's the printed equivalent of a bad infomercial.
Their naming conventions ARE moronic.
They named a product I use "Visual Studio Extensions for Access 2003". Then there was a footnote that says "Does not require Visual Studio 2003". Come on, WTF????? Why call it Visual Studio Extensions?!?!?!?!?!?
