Personally I found/find the Novell ones cringe-making. The Microsoft
ones also lack innovation (quelle surprise!) as they're just made off
the back off the highly successful Mac adverts.

In my opinion "we" (the free software community) need something
completely new, nothing to do with either the Apple or Microsoft
campaigns at all. Take the Stephen Fry piece that the FSF organised.
Whilst the script needed a lot of work, and I don't agree with the FSF
on a number of counts, they did well to get the video made in the
first place, and out there.

Something unique and watchable is what we need, not another "me too" campaign.

Cheers,
Al.
