Unfortuantly but if you mention the fact Linux is free and they would think 'money saved!'.
Haven't you read "In the beginning was the command line"? The linux users stand on a corner shouting "drive away a free tank, reliable, powerful, completely free..." and everyone backs off muttering "get away from me, you weirdos" whilst heading for the nice corner where m$ are selling bicycles with bolt-on engines in a familiar, safe capitalist environment. Or something. ;-) Jen.

Of course, we all know what tanks do to bicycles :-)
Actually, I think the GNU/Linux market is far more safe free market capitalist than proprietary software. Survival of the fittest service providers in a free market, compared with legal protection of artificially-created scarcity and barriers to market entry.
