All the talk about doing something similar to the "I'm a Mac/PC" ads sadden me to no end. That's the way to go if you want to send a message of: we are also-rans, clones that are dependent on the big ones showing us what to emulate, as we have no ideas of our own and if we have an identity at all, it's one that is solely defined in relation to Windows and OS X.
