My personal peeve is the original Coke Freestyle machines which are overtaxed WinCE systems meant to run with a lower resolution PDA display. They've never resolved all the gross latency issues with them and even the new Freestyle machines are laggy compared to the older Pepsi spire dispensers which could generate fluid full motion video years earlier.

God, yes. Every time I use one of these forsaken machines I can't help but wonder during the long latency pauses "did anyone use this before they shipped it?"
