I believe Linux has muturied to the stage that it will not offend me any more to hear someone saying "I love Microsoft Windows".  :-)

Time has changed.  I of course am biased favoring Linux/BSD purists, but I think an important task is to embrace Windows users.

Showing off the power of GIMP and Open Office would in my opinion be better for demos.  Corel Office and Draw for Linux might be good too (even thought they run on top of a modified WINE, they are marketed as linux native).  It would be nice to have the windows apps running under *nix to show people who say they can't live without them or don't trust the OSS solution, but I don't think we should focus on showing how we can run windows apps.  Just a thought, maybe I'm too bias.
