The GAMERS hold the key!
If you have the gamer, you have them all!

Why is that?

People are not religous about their OS (well most are not). A bunch of people who are satisfied with office apps already traded their windows for Linux because it gave them an ADVANTAGE.

The have all software for free, it just works out of the box, they don't have to worry about the damn viruses anymore and therefore the endless Windows reinstalles they had to perform are history.

* But the share of people who solely use their PC for office stuff is relatively small.
* The share of the PCs that are solely used by that kind of people is even smaller.

* However, PCs usually are used by the whole family and the most skilled one administers it.
* And the most skilled one is the gamer in the family, not the office user.

So, if you have the gamer, you have the whole family!!!

So give the gamer an ADVANTAGE and he will switch, no questions asked! And he will be happy to teach how to use Linux to his family as long as he gets to user ADVANTAGE in return.

Make Linux THE MLTIMEDIA and GAMER OS on the market and the market is yours!

No need for awareness campaigns, education, ...
The games is capable of finding the info on the net and he will tell the others! He is the gatekeeper! He is the opinion maker!
