New Novell Ad Campaign: Mac vs. PC vs. Linux
coderjournal.com — These videos from Novell are hilarious. I am interested to hear the digg user opinion of them. Note you have to suspend reality for a second, while watching these videos, and forget that they are referring to PC as a operating system instead of a hardware platform and that Linux also runs on the PC platform and arguably so does Mac.

- Me1000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+62nd one is great!
"Ill keep this one on for another 6 or 7 years"- sotopheavy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Very smart making linux a girl. However, it's Novell so they can't say that linux is free...
- Me1000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3^ There is a free version of Suse if you look hard enough
- MackDiesel2010, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Why would they insinuate that linux is a horrible driver? It's just an OS.
- unloud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I can only vouch that I laughed out loud.
- schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Oh! :-) Spoofs.
- petepete, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9First thing I'd do is install beryl and make my desktop semitransparent.
- crazybrit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1The first thing beryl commercial wha? I mean, I know it's a commercial about Linux, but that really didn't make much sense.
- theMcPatriot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4http://linuxdorks.ytmnd.com/
- phantomsnow, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Nice :54 second spoof. If you're going to copy someone elses creative ideas with mediocre ones, at least do it in :30 seconds like they do.
- neuroelectron2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2if you are going to be a total loser dork, at least post in a forum of your chosen dorkdom specialty.
- benitojuarez, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5like i said before,
"How do we get people to embrace us?"
"Use boobs"
"BRILLIANT!" - rubicante, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This is great. They should do one where Mac and PC are arguing and then walk up to the Linux girl typing away.
The PC guys asks, "What are you doing?" and Linux says "Working." - crazybrit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The girl is kind of annoying. I vote for coming up with an original commercial about Linux.
- lengau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This isn't an ad. It was at (I think) their developers conference. Novell have no intention to put this on TV, AFAIK.
http://reverendted.wordpress.com/2007/03/19/mac-vs-pc-how-would-linux-fit/ is the original (and will soon have the third video) - heffae, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I especially Like
PC: "How long have you been standing there"
Linux "Long time" - loconet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Here is a third one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa1RCg-Ccp0
