    Post The Top 10 Laughably Bad Tech Ads

    Here's the article, but I'll save you a lot of click-throughs and post the winners below. Some are very, very funny.

    Steve Ballamer sells Windows 1.0

    Don't copy that floppy

    The Ellen Feis Apple switch ad

    Keeping up with Commodore

    MS DOS 5 Upgrade promo video

    Movie piracy is a crime (apparently they included this one because the only place you can see it is on a legally purchased DVD)

    Atari Pole Position

    BT Slimtel

    Kevin Costner flogs Apple kit

    Amstrad Studio 100

    Of course, none of this is as painful as the law firm anthem.

    Just saw the MS DOS 5 promo video for now and I think I'll try to upgrade my Vista to that, awesome!

    These adverts are awesome - you can never hope to be as kicking rad as they are.

    Oh how i love the early nineties/late eighties.

    These terrible adverts reminded me of this equally awful one - not tech related, but still a good larf.

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    Some of those ads are so painful.
    Yet I do agree that it is so stupid how they put the anti-piracy adverts on dvds that have been brought legally, it's extremely annoying.

    Having to watch that over and over again along with all the other warnings when you are a good boy and always buy your DVD's, yup, VERY annoying.
