Fake ad, I presume

Posted by Jorge Bernal October 28, 2006

Bill Gates recommends Ubuntu

UPDATE: found through El Fary recomienda Ubuntu, but I guess you won’t get it unless you are Spanish.

UPDATE 2: Wikipedia to the rescue: El Fary

    Ha ha! Great marketing for Ubuntu though!

  2. Christophe says:

    ROFLOL!

    That’s all i can say :)

    If Bill is for it, then it must be lame.

  4. Stu Hood says:

    Wonderful =)

    Where did you find it?

  5. Jeremy says:

    Uh, doesn’t the Flickr TOS say you have to link the image to the original photo page?

  6. Madrefoca says:

    Wow wonderful! ROTFL!

  7. linktree says:

    Cool – very cool…
    but I guess this is a dream (or maybe Bill is running his home server on Linux?!)

    ROTFL, nice pic :D but, hmm, think ubuntu will not increase downloads as we all thinks :) Bill Gates it’s the perfect idiot for advertise only a Microsoft Product!

  11. Am I the only person that wouldn’t be attracted to something that is recommended by someone who’s built his empire thanks to so questionable practices? Ubuntu is in many ways in contradiction to what MS offers (closenes, lack of choice, lack of respect to its users, etc.).

  12. Sam says:

    I can’t believe this is being taken so seriously. It’s a joke! :D

  13. blogorazzia.com says:

    excellente! but Microsoft could buy Firexfox..no?

  14. Catlett says:

    This is just a joke. But Bill is a philanthropist now so maybe he would support Ubuntu which is a free linux distribution with the slogan “Linux for Human Beings”

  15. Dapper Drake 6.06 LTS it is! says:

    Damn! If Bill boy says so, I’ll be downloading Ubuntu right away!

  16. Dani says:

    If El Fary recommends it, I’m sure it’s the right choice :D
    A proud “Fary-recommended” Ubuntu user.

    Bill Gates would always look for money through licencing his products and then give it away, maybe who know they might come out with windows with linux in one cd and then sell it. so that they take over the linux.

    So I have to guess, this image is fake? LOL… I can only imagine it is!

    Anyway that was fun to read because Ubuntu is my favorite linux distro. It is easy to install and easy for Windows users to adapt to it. I have had the best luck with Ubuntu and if you are wanting to experiment with Linux, I totally recommend that you download and install Ubuntu.

    Take care,
    Garry
