Congratulations on your presentation David :) 

I've watched this thread with interest as one of my clients is also a PC
manufacturer exploring the options of offering Linux on the desktop to
government and business clients, possibly even retail.

As you found out, demonstrating Linux can come with many pitfalls for
those who have not showcased it too much before. I would strongly
recommend not being backward in coming forward and seeking support for a
future presentation with one or two of your local friendly OSAI[1]
member companies.

Most of us would no doubt lend our support for such a presentation for
free but our presence would also add weight to your case and provide
real faces and experience for a business market that is already
providing support for these products and deriving an income from it.
