** end quote [Dr Adam Trickett]
Since I first saw the advert I've had the urge to get a copy and tweak
the end frames to either:
1. replace the Windows logos and images with Tux ..or..
2. put a tag line something along the lines of "..but to make my PC
useful I installed Linux"
I can't remember the link off hand, but I did see a video on the Apple
website along the same lines as their earlier ones where the 'PC' is
dividing up a stack of cash between R&D to fix the Vista bugs and
advertising. He carries on at a ration of something like 4 to 1 (it's a
week or so back since I saw it) in favour of advertising. Then the 'Mac'
asks whether the money set aside for R&D is enough to fix all the Vista
bugs, to which the 'PC' replies "you're right" and puts the whole lot
into advertising. I can't imagine Microsoft being too keen on that one,
however true it may be ;)
