Be careful, though... (Score 1)

... Although I am frequently happy to promote OSS to my computer tech customers, one must be careful not to be too pushy. One customer of ours only became our customer because one guy, with whom she had been happy for quite some time, inexplicably decided to uninstall her MS Office installation from her Win98 PC. This was only a few months ago -- obviously, she was behind the times -- but still, even though he replaced it with Open Office, she was highly upset that he would dare to do such a thing. She, for whatever reason, had no Office CD (I refuse to speculate as to why), and she claimed to be too poor to purchase it for herself. Anyway, no matter what we believe, we should never push our beliefs forcefully on others.
