Longest Hyphenated word:
Backwards-compatible
A program (or system) designed to work with data generated by earlier versions of itself, even though the format may since have changed completely.
tied with:
Platform-independent
If something is platform-independent, you don't need a particular type of computer or particular software to use it. Perhaps the best example is the internet, which you can access from a PC, Mac or just about any other type of computer, and using a huge range of different software.
Longest Acronym:
WYSIWYG
(What You See Is What You Get; pr. "whizzy-wig") Mainly refers to word-processors, desktop publishers and the like. Means that all typeface changes, pictures and so on are drawn on the computer screen exactly as they will appear on the printed page, often not the case with older software.
Longest Non-hyphenated word:
Architecture
The basic design of a computer's hardware. Computers with different architecture, such as the PC and the Mac, cannot run each others' programs.
Longest Slang:
Autobogotiphobia
The fear of becoming bogotified'; but is not clear that the latter has ever been `live' jargon rather than a self-conscious joke in jargon about jargon. See also bogosity, bogus.
For reference
Bogotify
"To make or become bogus. A program that has been changed so many times as to become completely disorganized has become bogotified. If you tighten a nut too hard and strip the threads on the bolt, the bolt has become bogotified and you had better not use it any more."
That's the best i could come up with, without more info as to what you're looking for or the word you're trying to beat.

I once saw a guy manage to wind up a marketing executive at a HP conference in France .....
the guy, a work colleague of mine asked the marketing executive if the new range of HP laptops had 'LRF' technogology built in to them , as the competitors laptops had introduced this technology in order to increase stability on the road....
in front of the whole conference the marketing executive bullshitted through three minutes worth of explaning that 'HP was up to date with all the latest technological advancements, so yes we would definitly be seeing LRF technology in all the latest HP laptop models'
After the seminar the executive asked my friend quietly ' what is LRF technology?'
he replied, quite dryly,
Little Rubber Feet!
doh!
