Road with cubic stones - myth

On my street i live there is an interesting road with cubic stones
Half of it is covered with asphalt and half is with old cubic stones
, One day they old part
will be covered too with asphalt but until then we use both paths.

What this have to do with ubuntu/linux ?
Old cubic stone path is representing windows with all the costs
maintaining it (you need to pay workers to fix it and do manual
repetitive work like reinstalls) and the new road is ubuntu/linux with
modern look and feel (more secure too)

We can try to be constructive and install linux with dual boot option
(win/lin) also on all computers (where you are forced to use windows)
you can install vmware player or qemu with free ubuntu images .
Someday an installer should be created with both or live cd :1.install
vmware player , 2. install/copy and run ubuntu image or live cd from
within windows

Search for ubuntu vmware images (or create new one with vmware server)

Another way to attract new users (designers) is to show them cool
themes or 3d new look (xgl)

ps:another way is to show your coworkers that windows can work like an
legacy image (in vmware)
