Topic: Microsoft Commercial

we need a "I'm a linux PC. I'm Mac's daddy"

I agree. I think Linux needs to start doing some marketing if they're really going to take over the world and all.

I thought the video still sucked when compared to the Mac ones. I think it's funny though that we need to market operating systems. Like any of those actors really know anything about the difference between PC and Mac (or Linux). And they're probably running XP.

"I'm Linux.  I do important things.  If you need a commercial to tell you what I am, you don't need me."

I dunno, I much prefer these commercials over the mac ones.  Mainly because I really dislike the the need to bash a competitor.  Now I'm totally ok with taking a stereotype created by the competitor and giving it the giant finger.

"I'm a PC" is well done, but the mac commercials are still more entertaining.

The only mac one I enjoyed was the hot chick one.  Of course it just proved that mac is all about form and no substance   But still that form was nice to look at :P
