Part of the challenge of presenting free software to people is trying
to get them to care about the social and ethical issues behind it,
things they've probably never thought about before.
I think this is the best answer. If you convince people based on the
functionality issues. They will change when they get more functionality
on a privative distro.
If you use the freedom issue to justify the functionality and price,
then it might be good but if you do not put the freedom issue up front,
you might loose them somehow.
My personal experience for good sales is to be a good profesional and
never accept to install non-free software unless you are absolutely sure
that they will move to 100% free software if you install that nonfree
bit. This is seldom true so doubt about it always.
