“If you have access to a DVR, please record it and post it online!”

…and then see how fast the NBC lawyers can get the vids taken down.

I recorded it and watched this morning. No mention of Ubuntu all the computers showcased looked to be running Windows (big surprise). The computers featured were two netbooks (mini-notebooks) that looked to be running XP and a Dell Studio desktop. Not even a mention of the OS. The most mentioned was the form factor of the netbooks and Dell..I was looking forward to seeing Ubuntu on TV.
