Floppy Drive
The floppy drive has become the most obsolete piece of computer hardware out there that for some reason, Microsoft still thinks people need to have. Seriously, why would I ever use a floppy disk again, by choice? The largest floppy disk can only hold 1.44 Megabytes. That's not even large enough to hold a single mp3 file.
But for some reason, Microsoft makes it so that you can't install Windows XP on a RAID setup without having a floppy drive to install the RAID drivers. I would have thought that over the years M$ might have released a new Windows installer that would allow users to put in a CD-ROM and load the drivers that way, but no, I have to now go find an external floppy drive (since I don't want to actually install it in my case) so I can load XP on my new PC.
