I'd like to see a Super Bowl ad sponsored by one or more of the big Linux players. "Hi, I'm a Mac." "And I'm a PC. Wow, you suck, Mac. What the hell happened?" "Yo momma, PC." <wild gesticulating and arguing ensues for 20-30 seconds> "Hi, I'm Linux. Neither of these people care anything about you. You see, you're not their customer anymore. When you're ready to make computing personal again, check us out."

I guess you're not thinking like a marketer/product person (and I don't claim to be one either, at least not anywhere skilled), but your proposed ad shows exactly what's wrong with the Linux mentality and why it didn't go anywhere with consumers and won't go anywhere until this changes. The ad should show something people want, not vague promises of being their customer or personal computing (a term essentially unknown by the new generations). Show something the new machine can do that the competition can't - built-in adblocker, cross-compatibility with Mac and Windows apps via VMs/rented servers, etc.
