Better

Yeah, I would say Gisele is better.

Watched the PC/Mac ads after the Novell Linux parodies. Those were rubbish. Wow, Linux exists. Wow, Linux runs on PCs and Macs. Wow, Linux can change GUIs.

My problem with them is they say nothing. The Apple ads are clever and have points to make. These Novell ones aren't in the same league. The /. thread makes some good suggestions for alternative versions. Oh, and I have no problem with Linux being portrayed as a women (because it's high maintenance, hrhr). They also didn't opt for stupidly sexy which makes sense. Although, there's a certain logic in using supermodels to sell anything, IMO.

But let's get real: Linux should be targeting Wintel users. Mac users are not going to switch to Linux. Disenchanted Windows users are going to be the easier sell.
