My wife has just converted to Linux from Windows Vista and Windows 7.
She has always loved the graphical customization that Linux (Gnome or KDE) gives. She used Mandrake back when it was in version 7 and liked it but the lack of software that she liked pretty well killed her interest.
She's a big Photoshop user, even has a legitimate copy. I have told her many times that Gimp does anything Photoshop can do. She was unimpressed until I showed her layers and levels and all the Photoshop tools on Gimp. It did not buy her over until I told her to look at my laptop screen and she saw Photoshop running on Linux in Wine.
She's sold. Her Quad Core workstation is now Ubuntu Jaunty. I'm supposed to teach her how to do themes on Gnome when she gets back from Columbus where her grandfather is in the hospital doing a knee replacement.
