It's deep. I think this sums up what the common man thinks about them: http://slate.msn.com/id/2094360 In short, the common man is saying, "huh?" _I_ think the adds are kinda cool, but it also reminds me a lot of the opening sequence of every "Pretender" episode when Jared is getting taught all that stuff as a kid. Makes me snicker a little. It's nice to see someone getting serious about touting Linux on primetime, though I hope the adds aren't just going over everyone's head.
