One thing that struck me after installing another Operating System on my 
girlfriends computer is how much stuff that screws up all the time. 
Constant troubles with viruses, trouble with devices that don't work 
(and not being able to find the install cd's for them) and so on. Not to 
talk about the time it takes to get everything up and working. It took 
me about a day to get everything working in order, installing all the 
apps like Illustrator, Photoshop, Adobe Reader etc.

I'm currently trying to come up with a list of stuff that I have to do 
on my girlfriends system that I don't need to do on mine. Hopefully the 
rest of you can come up with a thing or two yourself. Let's do some 
brainstorming people!

I think it's a good idea to be positive about the GNOME life, but I
think it's best to be more direct about that. An ad that's all about how
bad Windows is would not be as effective as an add that's all about how
good GNOME is.

People know that Windows is crappy and frustrating. If we can get the
"just works" and "I can do cool stuff" and "My life is good" ideas
across, I think people will make the comparison without us spelling it
out for them.
