I think you could focus more on what Ubuntu has to offer, instead of focusing on what's wrong with Windows. In this case, I mean the software center or Synaptic (the latter is way better imo) as a tool that gathers most of the programs you might ever need, taking off the risk of downloading things from untrusted sources.
Windows viruses don't work on Linux, very true, why would they. Linux viruses don't work on windows. Linux has less viruses because no one bothers creating desktop software for Linux. Linux is not a desktop os
@aloneguid A tipical answer like "excuses". Always people says it. Linux has less viruses because it's very difficult play it on Linux. Linux is best SO from desktop than Win.
@calcionit Nonsense :) Apart from making you look "cooler" (questionable) Linux does not deliver on desktop. I do development on both platform and classic Linux is just a plain pain in the ass when in comes to desktop. Yes it sounds strange, but the latest Windows releases outperform linux in security and performance. I personally use Linux on desktop only because it's easier for the job I do, not because it's better.
@aloneguid I just got ubuntu on the side of Windows 7 for most of my internet browsing, I don't even keep anything but pictures in it since if I want to listen to music I just plug my ipod into my stereo and all I devoted was 12 GB of HD space to it. There is such so many viruses for windows now that just using it for primary web surfing is dangerous. I just got my pc fixed from a rouge antivirus that randomly attacked it on Christmas day and I decided to get Ubuntu.
Its a shame that you had the hook be that it's a game they're downloading. Yeah there are no viruses but if it was a legitimate game it probably wouldn't have worked either, at least not without a lot of messing around in WINE
Interesting, but very misleading. If a user is stupid enough to download anything and execute it, well sure, it could be malicious.To be sure, Linux is more secure, and there are no viruses in the traditional sense that are in wide circulation - you can't 'get a virus' without explicitly giving it rights to run, which you did in the video. Fortunately, it was a Windows malicious program, not one meant for Ubuntu/Linux.
@pslaag Installing applications on Ubuntu requires the Ubuntu Software Center. Everything located there is checked, whether or not it's safe. You can only catch virusses when installing not this traditional way. I however, have been using Ubuntu for 8 years now, and i never had 1 virus!
Good idea - well done! I really appreciate that work. I'd only wonder whether this ad makes is really clear that there are no viruses, Windows users may not understand the irony behind that blue screen, and think such crash can happen.
@rafalcieslak256 You have a point, but I think 99% of all windows users have actually met the blue screen of death. Anyway, I'd like you to give me some ideas to make this ad better.
thumbs up if you didn't managed to get ubuntu working in your pc or laptop

you should do the same, but just rewind further and install the app from the software centre. That would be better i think
