Dual boot (Score 1)

This would be a great oppurtunity to stage an experiment. Install windows and linux. Most will start using windows but many may gravitate towards linux. Stability, security, cost of programs and things like this could win many over. Average people (not those reading Slashdot) don't do any thing but use the computer. They don't add new hardware or fix software problems. As long as there are professionals in place to handle this linux could survive next to windows. Just my opinion!
