This is a great and noble idea but you're going to cause unwanted problems
for some people. And often times those people would rather pay the 100pounds
extra for Windows than have to try and actually become computer fundies.

My mother, father, in-laws, some friends and many of our client could
benefit from the cost saving that Linux has to offer. But they won't change
over, no matter you convinsing your story about computer liberty is, cause
Linux simmply cannot replave Windows. Not for them at least. Linux doesn't
work for everyone.

CentOS is great as a server OS, but it won't replace our accountant's
Windows 7 desktop - the amount of technical compatibilies issues we're going
to sit with is just not worth it.

Don't use a jack hammer to drive in a nail :)
