+1 In fact when making the target to be an average Windows user who is just confident enough to install programs, I would seriously consider not even mentioning 'GNU/Linux' at all! Just say Ubuntu is a great system! And it does not get viruses. Great support community forums! Thousands of apps! It is fantasy land come true. In fact that might be a viral idea: Make a humorous fantasy advert for a computer system, so good it cannot be true.
