Found this on Youtube today. Very interesting and inspiring watch, it seems almost Steve Jobs -esque

DAMN that's good hype.

Yeah, this is a commercial that has been airing in the states for quite a while now. I think its very cool. Goes along with the Ubuntu commercial idea. Don't attack Windows or Mac, just play to your own strengths.

It's a nice commercial. But why doesn't IBM certify their pc's for Ubuntu ? see :

One of the best ads Ive seen, ever! So beatiful/simple smart. My eyes got wet in the end, just like a hollywood movie or something... watched it many times today =D

[RavenOfOdin]

Seen it already.

Thanks for the heads up. It's a good ad.

EDIT:
Wow, IBM has really struck home with their flash bling on Linux!

Yeah if you navigate through that flash show to the "Visionary" tab, you can see some for commercials like the one noted above.

Especially the one with Muhammed Ali about "Shake things up".

"Don't call me no Underdog!!!!!!!"

Sorry if this is a double post or something, but I loved this commercial and wanted to share it with you guys.

Via YouTube

"Does he have a name?"

"His name... is Linux."

[gosh]

lol

love it!

Wasn't IBM the company that used to ship out their pc's with that MS-DOS software made by a guy called B. Gates?

I like it as well but I think the boy is reaching his puberty nowadays ready to be let out to leave the lab.

Concerning IBM, the situation was way too different at that time, I wouldn't hold that against them.
