Sick of Apple and Microsoft flaunting themselves about constantly with their "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" advertisements? Had a vision for the first Linux commercial you've been wanting to put into place? The Linux Foundation is calling you. Not literally, of course. Beginning January 26th, 2009, the Foundation will be accepting 60-second video offerings from budding directors worldwide to begin their own "I'm Linux" advertising campaign. The winner takes all with "a flight to Narita in Japan from the airport closest to your home plus three nights at a hotel in order for the winner to attend the Linux Foundation Japan's symposium in October next year." Start those rusty creative gears turning-- it's certain that plenty will enter, and only one will win.

Yes I'm well aware of SFU going to SUA, and I have been running it on Vista since it shipped.
But have you ever seen an update for it?
Vista gets updates like dammed near once a week, and I haven't seen a single update for SUA since vista shipped.
It really does feel like the team has been disolved. It feels like once more again MS runs out gets a workable product, makes it somewhat good, then loses interest and abandons the whole thing... Much like Cobol, Fortran, Pascal etc etc....

And...?
Linux has always been a copy of something out there. What original ‘anything’ have they ever brought to the table?
They cannot even promote themselves in an original manner.
Besides it’ll turn into yet another xyz destroy is better then zzy yet both are based on abc. Zzz.

Why they have the Apple playbook in hand, naturally. They alreaddy bought & absorbed a *nix but true to MS fashion they are doing their best to pretend that SFU/SUA never existed.
I almost bet they saked the entire team to let the product languish...
