I hold the belief that having 'Linux applications' running under Window$ 
initially is a way to transition people to Linux.  If they can use the 
same applications that they're now used to, and those applications work 
as good or better under Linux, switching to Linux would be less of an 
issue.  But, you would have to enlighten those people before a well 
meaning friend (M$ drone) convinces them to buy into the M$ world.
