The first and foremost thing that you can tell them, rather ask them is that whether their copy of Windows XP is genuine (which, in 9 out of 10 cases, is not the case)? If not, then you can tell them that what restrictions Microsoft puts on them while using that OS and they are also considered as criminals! As far as problems with Windows XP, for not so very advanced users is concerned: VIRUSES!! Tell them that by using Linux distros, they will be free from viruses and other such hassles. For some others, cool desktop effects of Compiz attract many naive users towards Linux distros. All the best and keep posting your experiences. -- Tanay Mathpal Final Yr, Computer Engineering College of Technology Pantnagar [email protected] [email protected] http://tanamania.wordpress.com/ http://twitter.com/tanamania/ -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
