I heard the following comment on slashdot and I thought it was a cool way of dealing with the windows to linux migration. The peeps were talking about Microsoft not being worried about Firefox!

So try this approach, I use it.Coool, shows that you can really move away you know.
Setup an X server with a pretty desktop.
Tell the users "We'd like to enable you to work faster. From this point forward, just doubleclick this. We installed a new version of Office and Internet explorer, they are called OpenOffice and Firefox. If you don't like this, feel free to use your Windows98 system."
I had zero Win98 users within a month, and zero Windows XP users within 3 months. That's a 400+ user environment.
They still think it's new Windows. The management thinks that not paying for 400 terminal services licenses is priceless.
