WoW. Cool. Now then why do you want to force GNU/Linux down the throat of such people?

It is for the fence sitters. There are many (mainly non techies) who are quite frustrated with MS products and would like to try another OS, but are sceptical about GNU/Linux. The sceptism arises from the fact that if a "great" company like MS can deliver such junk others may be much worse. Trying out an os without the "risk" of screwing his harddisk sounds good to such users.
