With Microsoft’s $300 million “save Vista at all costs” campiagn on the verge, PC Magazine’s Gearlog took it upon themselves to gather together what they believe to be the ten “most iconic” tech ad campaigns. By default, as it is in every case whether warranted or not, Apples, 1984 tops the list.

That bit of non-news aside, other well-deserved campaigns such as the RCA dogs, Verizon’s Can You Hear Me Now, Nintendo’s The Wizard, Apple’s Get A Mac, Maxells’ Blown Away Guy, IBM’s Little Tramp, Dell’s Dell Dude, Energizer’s Energizer Bunny and, yes, Microsoft’s Start Me Up make the list.
