Marketing geniuses

OK, I’ll have a more substantive post up later, but I was just running through the Toshiba technical support site and ran into the ad pictured here. The only thing I have done is cut off the right side of the ad, which was entirely blank. I thought, “That’s an interesting Linux ad.” When I clicked on it, it brought me to Microsoft. Whoever designed this ad and missed the dominant meaning probably deserves to be fired. But then, I clicked on a banner ad, and I can’t remember the last time I did that, so maybe it’s not so bad after all… :).
