Novell spoofs both PC and Mac with Linux
Not the most creative ad-parodies, but still funny… assuming you know your Linux history. Sadly, not many people do, so not many people will get the new Novell ads. The second one is the best.

Let's Do Lunch!
Over the years, I've benefited both personally and professionally from kind and intelligent individuals over lunch. Yes, good people still exist. So if you're ever in the greater Salt Lake area (all are welcome) and want to grab a friendly bite, don't hesitate to ask.

I don’t know the history of Linux, but I can still tell you that those ads are terrific!! Makes me want to look up Linux… great marketing!

This is a Novell commercial? The production quality is terrible! I like the message but its lost in the poor quality of the production. Having much experience in this space, I can tell you that doing a decent production of this type doesn’t cost much. It looks like someone at Novell had their brother who does video editing out of his basement make this ad.
Too bad.
