Just things that Linux can do that are kewl... not even that some other os can do them as well. We seem to be focusing on 'install linux'... but we know that linux is easy to install... Let's focus on 'kewl thing you can do with linux'.... don't care if some other os can do them as well.... that's like saying 'this car has kewl colour... errr so does ever brand that has a blue car for sale' :) Also think we should focus on marketing[1] the fact that you can run nix and other os on the same box at the same time.... if we can get some fast HP/IBM boxes we could show off the face you can run windows within nix and nix with in windows.... this is a good thing for consumers because they can 'try before they buy' and aren't limited which means less risk to having a go.
