[BadVista Advocate] An ad campaign idea

[Don Hensley]

Hey Jacob (or anyone else that's interested in an ad campaign),

I just noticed that I've quite by accident come up with an easy to film, 
youtube-ish ad campaign:

Two people, identical computers, bare hardware, a host (like in Jeopardy).

The contestants pick their OS of choice (one Vista one GNU/Linux, of course).

Then as the music plays they compete to be first to reach a web based email 
account containing some huge prize in an email.

Of course the GNU/Linux person is using a live CD...

Hey it's not about fair, it's about accurate. And because it's a live 
GNU/Linux CD the whole thing lasts just slightly longer then boot time for 
the live CD. In that time the "host" could cover a lot of pro GNU, BadVista, 
ground. Just talking like the Jeopardy host talks to add suspense.

There you go, grab a video camera, a couple of boxes, three people, and start 
the next viral youtube ad campaign...

I see subtitles, cool music loosely based on the theme from Jeopardy. The 
flummoxed look on the Vista persons face, the cool look of satisfaction on 
the GNU/Linux users face...

True it does not really touch on the bad aspects of Vista, but it's not a bad 
GNU/Linux ad. Still it could prominently display the addy for the BadVista 
web site... might get some more people looking at least.

Don.
