MICROSOFT has bowed to public outcry and pulled from the web an ad rapidly gaining fame as "the worst technology commercial ever".

The ad, which plugs Microsoft's Internet 8 browser, features a couple eating breakfast while the husband's browsing on his laptop.

He leaves the table and hands it to his wife, who inadvertantly finds a site in the history file so disturbing, she vomits on the floor.
