I suggest you propose to them Linux as a viable alternative to what they do using the computer (i.e. word processing etc.) then present how it's done in Linux highlighting the benefit that (1) it's virus free and can even catch those lurking viruses on their flash drives, (2) legally free and avoid piracy hassle, (3) rarely crashes, (4) secure and stable and (5) it has the most educational and technical value as far as software and IT is concerned. They should understand that Linux IS different, many made mistake promising Linux to be 'like' Windows for the sake of 'user-friendliness', I suggest you find the way to make them realize the vast benefits (technical and financial) after going over the learning curve rather than trying to implement Windows-mindset hoping for Linux acceptance, otherwise, it will only get them back to their old habit of preferring Windows.
