When I was a teenager, I worked as a telemarketer, and we were given a few intro phrases to try out when first making the calls (we're both selling products, and doing market research to find out what approaches are the most effective). One of them was "Are you paying too much for your phone bill?" and some of the people we called would respond with "No" and hang up. At the time, being a teenager, I cared about my (non-existent?) public image, and to be rejected so blatantly was somewhat embarassing. The above reminds me of this story, so I chuckled nostalgically.

I have no audio on this computer, so I'll check it out when I get home (too bad they don't provide subtitles, e.g. for the hearing impaired). I see some people sitting in a circle of chairs in a darkly lit room, in the style of an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. It looks like it'll be a funny ad. Thanks for sharing.


My only concern is that it may be targeted more towards current Linux users than Windows users considering the conversion, as I imagine that most professional Windows administrators don't actually reboot their windows server that often.
