Wow, this is the master plan, generate buzz for this. This is the type of add that blends into the static. The kind you zone out on and pay no attention to ever. I think they need to have the whole board at Microsoft go stay with real familes, then they might get a clue. I say we get Dann to take Balmer. Of course they might get along and have similar web tastes, :lol: .

I think I'm going to be sick.

I think Mac should do a commercial where pc dresses like Mac and repeasts everything he says. Mwahaha Because really, that's what's going on. They even made Vista look like a Mac and it has the same games.

I do not have a master's in business administration like Mr. Ballmer, but I thought of a commercial that might have an impact.

First I would show a ppc mac running linux and show off office, qcad, and etc. (and play open source music. )

Male Narrator 1: I used to run the Apple software on this machine But Apple does not want to support it anymore. Apple seems to only support the latest and greatest. Now that I switched to linux, I am still being supported without having to buy a new system.

Second I would show my 1g compaq box running compiz and show off the graphics and play open source music.

Female Narrator 2: I used to run Microsoft windows on this machine, but Microsoft only seems to support the latest and greatest. Now I switched to linux, I am still being supported without having to buy a new system.

Narrator 1: Linux does not forget who brought them to the dance.
Narrator 2: When we do get a new lastest and greatest system, it will be with linux.
Narrators then dance off together,
the end.

My MacBook Pro runs Windows. Does that mean it is a PC?

I think they should have said "I run Windows and sell fish". It is more concise.

We have assumed that pc meant personal computer. What if it meant politically correct according to Microsoft? Another dumb thought.

Steve Ballmer
Redmond, Washington state, United States
CEO and general Manager at the worlds most powerful and pervasive company, a mover and shaker with world changing influence and charisma. Don't freaking cross me! Microsoft wants to "get the appropriate economic return for our shareholders from our innovation," A few of my more memorable quotes: "I think it would be absolutely reckless and irresponsible for anyone to try and break up Microsoft." "There's no substitute for innovation, of course, but innovation is no substitute for being in touch, either." "What we've gone through in the last several years has caused some people to question 'Can we trust Microsoft?" "I like to tell people that all of our products and business will go through three phases. There's vision, patience, and execution." "Google is an illusion" "I don't know what a monopoly is until somebody tells me." "We don't have a monopoly. We have market share. There's a difference." "That whole monkey-boy dance thing never happened, that wasn't me, I was in Hardeeville that day" "I never threw a chair, uh, all of the chairs in my office are bolted down, so there!""Linux is a cancer..."
