I understand where you are coming from. It makes sense. However, in a business, or any professional setting, these "users" cannot make any decisions about whay Operating System to use, or browsers, mail clients. And getting them to use it at home would be much easier to do if they used it at work. Most people who have computers at home, buy windows machines, and use MS office, and whatever other applications that their place of work does. If you get the companies to switch, the poeople will follow like the sheep they are. So going after once person, while it is nice, and does add another mark to the list, isn't going to do a whole lot in the long run. You need to get companies on board.
Of course, getting everyone to talk about Linux and OSS is a good thing. The more people know about it, the more people want to use it, and on and on. Too bad most of my freinds would rather jsut deal with Internet Explorer and Windows than try something else. Even when I show people a program like Mozilla or Firefox, and they like it, still, they do not care enough to use it. I would say that most people dont care. So, trying to go on a mission to convert people is, to me, a waste of time. You want Linux to take over, get the businesses to use it. The sheep will follow like they always have.
