Simple way to slowly convert, and make a user think it is his idea.

1) Windows system breaks, or is painfully slow. Do not have time to fix
it, but you can boot a LiveCD and mount the drive so they can do some
work until you get a chance to fix it.

2) Later, when they are working OK, come by and state how the Live-CD is
actually quite slow, and you still don't have time to rebuild Windows.
But you can shrink the partition and install Linux in a dual boot.

3) After a few days of working better than Windows, offer to recover
space from that old Windows install.

I have done this to a few systems at my company so far. They do not
miss Windows.
