Well, the "people-ready ad" works, as does the video.
Was I supposed to be staring at a blank screen or
something, since I'm not using Microsoft Windows? :-)
An interesting notion: using a wiki/digg-approach to
search, as opposed to proprietary (or even open) algorithms
to look for relevant search output.
I'm not horribly fond of video, though -- it's an
inefficient method of presenting concepts if one doesn't
need voice nuances and visual cues from the speaker.
(Of course I'm even less fond of video that states "Sorry,
you need Microsoft Windows Media Player". :-) )

Linux. Because it's there and it works.
Windows. It's there, but does it work?
