Ok, here's a go...

Fade in.

The set is bare, except for two men and a penguin.  The man on the
left is young, dressed in a suit, and a little bit chubby.  The man on
the right is also young, but dressed casually, obviously cool, and has
a CGI penguin on his shoulders.

MAC: Hi, I'm Mac.
PC:  I'm PC. [looks inquisitively at Tux] What's that?
MAC: That's Linux.
PC:  Why's he on you?  I thought Linux ran on PCs.
MAC: It does.  Linux runs on Macs, too.
PC:  But Linux is supposed to run on PCs.  Give me that... [reaches for Tux]
[Mac and Tux look inquisively at eachother]
PC:  Linux is cool.  I want it!

[PC grabs one of Tux's arms.  PC pulls Tux from Mac's shoulders, but
Mac grabs Tux's other arm mid-flight.  PC continues to pull on Tux,
suspended in mid-air between Mac and PC Tux is looking very confused.]

[Tux shakes his arms, breaking loose from both Mac and PC, landing
squarely on his feet.  Tux reaches into Mac's pocket and pulls out a
big, wooden, CGI mallet.]

[Tux waddles over to PC, jumps up and clobbers PC on the head with the
mallet.  PC collapses into a Vista icon.  Tux hops up and sits on the
icon, with his flippers dangling over the logo.]

[Tux and Mac share a sly grin.]

Cut to black.
