To extend upon my previous message, people feel less intimidated if they know 
that they don't have to give up Windows to use GNU/Linux. This is where 
dual-booting, WINE (Official/Crossover/Cedega) and virtualisation 
(Quemu/VMware/Xen/OpenVZ/KVM) come into play. Solutions like these can be 
used to enable "that one last application" that keeps them tethered to 
Windows.

It would be wonderful if we were able to demonstrate some of these 
technologies at Open Day. If you are bringing a computer to the Ubuntu-Au 
stand, please configure it for this.
