Sorry, it looks like a pornographic blip board.
Three exclamations points, and reduce the total
time to the ad to 10 seconds (including download
@ 56Kbps) Right now it takes 30 sec.

Say what you want, keep it short and sweet.

After all, we are not selling toliet paper or 
roll-on anti-perspirant. It's an OS.

BTW, if you insist on such a long ad, maybe humor
would work....

I.E.  -- Works Great, Less Filling.
       - Old and reliable, not new and improved.
       - It Free, because people want to pay
         for things that suck. 
       - If we made it any easier, we charge 
         for it.
       - We no list on the stock exchange,
         so we don't need to charge for that.
       - This thing got loose from AT & T.
         We're not supposed to say that. :-)
       - More people use us, than Bill
         likes to admit.
       - If Microsoft owned us, they have
         a true monopoly.
       - It's Free. Money back gauranteed!

Hope this help!
