That would be Mistake #1.  

Technical  superiority is  directly derived  from the  *freedom*  of the
source.  We  can improve and  innovate iff there  is free access  to the
source code and  documentation.  This aspect has to  be advocated at the
outset  itself.  

What if;  say, an year and  half from hence, an  *X* proprietary company
brings out  a better version of  *Win YZ* *free of  cost* for Individual
use,  better &  technically  superior than  our  *RootHat Linux*.   Your
technical superiority  angle is  going to fall  flat on its  face.  That
would be damaging to the task we have set out to undo....
