But for my part they could have cut away the: "I'm just not cool enough to be a Mac person"-comments. Made Windows seems bitter and sad. Would have worked just as well - and better - without. As for Linux, it would have been fun if they elevated themselves above the "I'm a"-battle with something like: "Perhaps we're not an image nor a statements. But for what it's worth, we're free." Or: "Linux is not something you are, it's something you use. For free." Dunno. Just a thought. I liked this windows ad better than the “I enjoy burgers, and I’m also a PC!” previous thing they did.
