I just saw this today and thought it's a pretty cool comercial for Linux. Check it out ...

That is quite impressive.

Yep...now if only they'd show it on TV once in a while! The last I ever heard of that was on the website. I see MS commercials left right and center, but have never seen the Linux one.

I have seen some Linux comercials by IBM, but half the time it's not just for linux (Linux, DB2, etc..)

It's great that they made a linux commercial. It would be even better if people using Linux could watch it.

You can. Get the plugins for mplayer, compile mplayer correctly and then you can open the url. A PITA, but until someone starts shipping packages of mplayer with these setup already, it will remain this bad. I hate it. I rarely ever get to doing it. This may end up doing it. Dunno.

Or get mozplugger.

I d/l'd all the pluggins on the page plus what Slave Copy and Trickster suggested and still can't seem to get it to play. ???

I saw this on tv during the Cheif's game two weeks ago at a bar. People actually cheered at the commercial! You'd be surprised how many people hate Micro$osft in the "real world".
