Definitely, UK has really strict rules regarding commercial ads. You remember that apple had to change the title of its commercial campaign when launching the PMG5 in UK.
today, it is Microsoft turn to be trapped. In this campaign, Ms was trying to present proofs that Linux is at middle/long term more expensive that Windows. The ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) is simply accusing MS to have produced false proofs to perform this comparison, by setting up a computer supposed to be representing the OpenSource side with particularly low performance/price ratio.
Microsoft has been then forced to modify its campaign in order to have launched in UK news media.
