Microsoft Windows Commercial... For Windows 386!
Worst. Commercial. Ever.
Thursday, February 8, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Ok, so most of us remember the smiling flying people in the commercials for Windows XP, and now we're dealing with the annoying "WOW!" people in the Vista commercials, and we're more or less entertained by Apple's Mac vs PC ad campaign. Ad campaigns for operating systems are pretty hit or miss, and in the case of Microsoft, typically miss. So it's no surprise that one of their first, a commercial for Windows 386 is incredibly bad.
Don't believe me? Well, Gizmodo dug up an old commercial for Windows 386 that's really not much of a commercial since it's 5min in length. It's got everything you could want from the early 90s... big hair, bad clothes, and painfully bad rap.
Check out the video for a good laugh.

That was such a cheesy, lame commerical for Windows/386! Even the theme to mission impossible was totally lame and the rap that woman did, eek!
I never ever seen such a lame commerical then that and it wasn't even pleasent to watch.
So what was Microsoft thinking back then when they made that commerical? Was Bill Gates wondering why it turned out the way it did? Compared to The Apple vs the Mac commerical I reather watch that then that 386 one!
