I suppose the problem we have with creating something like this is, the general public alrieady KNOW what windows is, a lot don't really know what Ubuntu, and Linux are. Perhaps if we were to create a TV advert, the main purpose of it would be to inform people what Ubuntu is.
Perhaps a TV advert would be a good way to do this - 3 whole minutes of sheer information. However, where it to come into fruition, we would need funds, and I think that's what the main obsticle is here. Perhaps we should start a campaign of some sort in an effort to raise funds for the development and showing of the TV advert BEFORE we talk about who's playing which role, as to speak.
