What I liked about the ad was that not only was linux showing up in such 
a context, but they were doing price/product comparisons to another 
such product.  They explicitly compared their Lindows offering to a 
similar one from Walmart.

Also amusing was that they point out that they offer windows drivers for 
the hardware.  Not that they are suggesting that you might want to wipe 
the HD and install a copy of Windows that you might already own, or 
anything....
