I had this idea for a totally free operating system that was fast, stable, secure, free as well as all the software that came with it, and you can tweak it to your hearts content. I am mamamia88 and ubuntu was my idea.

we should totally make a commercial like that

You make it sound like Ubuntu is the only totally free operating system that's fast, stable, secure, free as well as all the software that comes with it, and can be tweaked to your hearts content.

So that would make my statement "Replace "Arch" with "GNU/Linux"?






I'm bored.

lol Win7 parody! When I first heard that commercial I was like wtf.

The one I watched the lady was like "I asked them to fix it and they did", I was thinking "and it only took 20 years"

Its a complete load of marketing crap, they make it sound like its open source and community driven or something.


EDIT:

Heres the one I was talking about

Hey, i like the idea of the OP, for us that have been here for awhile, we know there are alot of other distros that are great, but Ubuntu is very welcoming to newcomers, and i think it has the best position to gain new linux users

Hey, but didn't you know? All those bug reports you sent on Windows weren't useless, they just tricked you into thinking that. And you know, a closed source company making the most-popular software in a monopoly like world, of course they are you going to listen to you. It's not like they only care about money, or something.

Windows 7 was my idea. Then Micro$uck$ stole it from me and patented it.

I have a feeling that half of the people reading this thread have never seen the commercial, or they are ignoring that fact that they have.

I thought, hey I want to rip a hole in the fabric of Space-Time and bring about the collapse of the entire universe. The Large Hadron Collider was my idea.

I think that's what they're trying to achieve. The whole "oh so you like Linux because you can make suggestions about what you want in the OS and it gets heard, ah well it's the same with Windows! Honestly! YOU MADE IT, clever YOU!"

Patronising, ridiculous marketing spiel that I've come to expect from Microsoft.

I see it as an achievement for Apple and Open Source communities that Microsoft now have to advertise in ways they didn't before. (At least not over here in the UK)

You know with Brainstorm we can make the case that Ubuntu is truly our ideas! That would make a wicked youtube video!

Definitely! Microsoft REALLY care about their customers and always do their utmost to accommodate them. Making money comes a REALLY distant second.

If the time spent by people in trying to copy Microsoft's idea's were devoted to generating a new wave of viral ad's for Linux, maybe, just maybe more people would be inclined to offer assistance to these projects!
