Marketing genius that worked for Pepsi, lets hope it works for Ubuntu also.

I was just envisioning the taste test commercials between Coke & Pepsi.

Taste test commercials between: Windows & Ubuntu would be classic. Set up booths around the world with two computers one with Ubuntu, one with Windows and film it, publish it on YouTube, and have a grass roots homegrown ad campaign.

this is simply a Thread to discuss ideas that Ubuntu users can come up with as a Grass Roots ad campaign for Ubuntu...

What are your ideas? What has been tried? what hasn't been tried?

I may do just that. I have alot of old unused laptops that run Ubuntu fine, Windows not so much...

I'd give away a bunch of laptops by the end of the day after people have tried out both booths.

A test, with a reward.

And yes, that^^^ was a repost

i get sad whenever no one replies to my posts too
i guess that's one of the reasons i joined the unanswered posts team.

now is tihs going to be a fresh install of each OS or is this a real one year later... thing where the differences really start to come out?

Actually I posted that about an hour before on the same thread that RAV's repost was from.

This sounds like a cool idea.

Now all we need to do is take one of these many great ad ideas, get some momentum going with it and take action!
