I guest I don't get it or I'm not cool or something but I don't get the Microsoft commercials with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld ... all I can say is WTF??
The newer "I'm a PC" commercials are not much better, but at least the message they are trying to project is fairly clear.
Microsoft has done much better in the past with their commercial from about a year and a half ago.
That one gives me the chills and makes me want to run out and buy Microsoft products, and considering my heavy lean towards Linux and Open Source is an accomplishment. Frankly their "Imagine" and "Potential" ads from about two years ago were probably their best ads to date and they really should look at getting that PR firm back.
I will say the references to The Matrix are somewhat creepy, but this version never actually ran AFAIK and just a cut down version was ever seen and that did not have the matrix like beginning.
On the other hand this Novell SUSE Linux commercial just makes me want to run away as to how uncool and boring it is. The high point in is the Republica background music which I really like, but it's not enough to win me on image and the video it's self is uninspiring.
