When was the last time you saw a commercial for Microsoft Windows? They usually only run them when a new version comes out. Now if commercials for Ubuntu or SuSE or Red Hat/Fedora Linux ever started running with regularity, you can bet the folks in Redmond would start cranking up the FUD-machine. (FUD=Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt.)

Good point. Of course this presumes that the companies put forth real effort, not (for example) the lame excuses that passed for OS/2 advertisements from IBM.
