I love it!  I'd add one twist of irony maybe?

Instead of the logo I'd pan down the hall to their data center and zoom in
on their iSeries in the back of the room.   Maybe the nerdy guy would be
saying something like "This is what we run on now.  None of those other
solutions *pointing to the racks in the front of the room* have ever given
us what we need." " Wanna see Linux in a production environment?"  
 
Maybe he could walk past a 20-something whiz kid in the hall picking up
spilled nickles.

Another campaign that I would like to see would be:
 
The familiar 'pixie dust' conference room where
everyone is discussing their needs for the latest
computing marvel. A new computer that is virus free,
no down time, runs multiple operating environments,
will accomodate the latest and most modern computer
languages, intergrate with all of their other systems,
yada yada yada. Then one of the nerdy looking
conference attendees pipes in and says, "Hold it,
there is already a system that does all of
this....then it flashes to a screen displaying the
iSeries against a blank background and displays
<LOGO>IBM eseries</Logo> iSeries system.
