WinXP commercial Parody, by Novell.

Well that was a funny commercial but I HATE Novell Products... You wouldnt believe all the calls we have had directly caused by Groupwise/Netware. Whats really funny is that all of us tech suppoert people took that crap off all of our computers
 
LMAO. Hilarious, but still. That's quite a low-blow. Unprofessional ad.

BTW, anybody got the clips for MS ads that got banned because it was a BMW parody where Bill and Steve took the place of 2 gaymen? 🙂
 
Novell sucks???

Don't you guys remember this story:

Nice uptime

Server 54, Where Are You?

TechWeb News

The University of North Carolina has finally found a network server that, although missing for four years, hasn't missed a packet in all that time. Try as they might, university administrators couldn't find the server. Working with Novell Inc. (stock: NOVL), IT workers tracked it down by meticulously following cable until they literally ran into a wall. The server had been mistakenly sealed behind drywall by maintenance workers.

The server had been mistakenly sealed behind drywall by maintenance workers." - John Rendleman

In response to this article, Judson Knott, director of Academic Computing Systems at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, issued the following statement:

"I believe that this is what is commonly known as an urban legend. If it were a true story and 'Server 54' belonged to my organization, I would identify and fire the system administrator responsible for losing a server for four years. We run a first-class IT operation here in Chapel Hill and it is embarrassing to be associated with this kind of story."

He then added, "However, if I were to say that Server 54 really did exist and that it ran without attention for four years, and I'm not saying that it did, or where it was, then I'd bet it was running the Solaris[tm] Operating Environment."

He then went on to say, "In fact, our record for managing the real killer application of the decade - Email - is nearly flawless. A major factor in our success with Email and other critical services is the robustness and adherence to open standards of the Sun Solaris Operating Environment and Sun hardware. UNC handles more than 300,000 Emails a day for more 37,000 active IMAP4 accounts and manage a mail spool containing greater than 600GB of Email. That's IMAP, not POP, and I wouldn't want that responsibility without Sun's Solaris Operating Environment in my corner," continued Knott. "In fact, we just ordered a brand new enterprise class Sun Fire 6800 midframe platform that will be on campus by mid-June for summer rollout of our next generation IMAP system." >>

That ad wasn't meant to be shown on tv. Novell just makes parody's to show at brainshare and stuff.

I went to brainshare and it rocked. Netware 6 is really good, especially with their i-folder technology and print stuff, it really is very cool.

After brainshare my friend and I went to the Styx concert and it was so fun. Everytime the crowd got quiet we would yell "MICROSOFT SUCKS!" and the crowd would start cheering.

Great fun 😀

I heard of some Microsoft ads played in some major conferences that made of Sun and Oracles. Based on the stories I heard, they were REALLY bad. These ads are amusing, but unnecessary and childish.

I WANT that clip, anyone have it or point me to the right direction?
 


<< well, it's too bad novell decided to put the video in real video. >>

IT should have been encoded in .wma format.
