The heart rate monitor or whatever should be shown, with perhaps a bluescreen before the penguin does his magic and a desktop after. The little joke was pretty nice.
I'm disappointed at the lack of an Ogg version. Luckily I have VLC.
nice (:
Best one I've seen so far :)
(Disclaimer: this is the only one I've seen so far)
I understand some French, so I was able to get the gist of what was going on.
Amusant
Good and funny one. Well done. A few adjustments in the scenes would make it a professional advertising.
someone should add english subs so more people can enjoy, it's quite funny! :)
The final joke is :
Hey girls, do you know the difference between a window and an apple? Nothing hahaha !
super Seb et le reste de l'équpe !
tu peux le faire en anglais ? non, les sous titres en anglais c'est surement mieux en fait.
Bonne chance
By the way, I think the French should be kept in English markets.
In fact, in each market, you should a language that is not native to that market.
Am I Sexy, Oui or No?
Nice and funny!
But, what will the simple man see in this ad? He will see that linux can just reanimate his computer. It means he should find someone with linux, when he will have any problems with his desktop. But how can he understand linux is friendly?
Anyway thanks, really nice video! :)
When I see this, I think of how Linux is known for being dead (old) PC's back to life. Also, I imagine some poor guy's HDD going out, so he runs out and grabs Linux thinking it's maybe not an operating system but a fix to anything that can go wrong with his PC. It's funny and great. But like I've said before: "There's too much confusion to what Linux is right now!" I've switched a few Windows users to Linux in the past few years and I'm tired of people thinking Linux is a just an add on to Windows, or that it's something to be feared. I think it's obvious that LF is trying to help make a dent in the desktop market. Not for money of course, but to free more PC and Mac users. I dunno, people need to be informed. Not left to guess if Linux is an operating system, PC utility software or both.
Good image but I miss some real information.
What is linux?
See what I'm saying?
But, well done!!
this is by far the best of the three best ones. maybe it doesn't work if you don't speak french, i don't know, but this one is the best. i don't know how it would translate into english though.
Much appreciation for this blog post. Truly fascinating and well penned blog. Thanks once more - I will come again.

I love this type of humor. Well done. I have a good impression of every ad I have ever seen by Linux. This definitely gives the viewer the idea that Linux will fix things that most others cannot. casino en ligne
I don't really get the point of the video. LOL.. But it really nice and linux is great also when it comes to security and strong OS.. Thanks for sharing it.!

I just laughed and cracked my head, What I loved most is the introduction scene of the Linux man into the scene. The video is quite cool and well taken. The guys at the show are best. You have done good with the selection of people. The PC got back into full strength with the touch of Linux. Good Work. It was like the PC has met with a Semi Truck Accident | Call Center Manager | Precision Machining
Terrible celle ci bravo ;)
It's not easy to make a video as synchronized as this one. But please, we're suppose to advertise Linux, not scare people away. With ads like this only rebels would switch to Linux. Cheap bridesmaid dresses
This was the funniest thing and I enjoyed it very much. Even language was not easy to understand because I don’t know French infect.
