If the list is too redundant we can just provide a link to the other page. I was thinking more so of a summary of just some main programs. Testing of instructions is not a problem, if you want I can provide instructions, especially for the dual boot appendix. As for number 2 we do need to be careful not to offend in our wording here. I'd say there is a choice of listing the advantages open source has, or providing testimonials explaining why to switch.

In our current document plan we have the following sections:

Main Guide

1. Introduction
2. Reasons to switch
3. Preparing to switch
4. Installing Ubuntu
5. Applications
6. Importing data from Windows

Appendices

A. Windows networking
B. Dual-booting with Windows

It is intended that (1) or (2) will contain a section explaining the
open-source model. (3) will contain details on preparing data to be
transferred from Windows onto an Ubuntu installation. (5) will contain a
list of equivalent applications and (4) will contain details on
partitioning and so on.

We would especially like help in testing the instructions in chapters
(3) and (6), when they have been written. We'd also like your thoughts
on the content of chapter (2), as this may be sensitive from a marketing
perspective. We want to make sure we're putting the 'right' advantages
in!

Thanks again,

Phil
