I think the scriptability and configurability of Linux is a big
advantage.  If you want to impress a regular desktop PC user, show them
some of the more glitzy window managers, like maybe enlightenment.

Show them 3dDesktop: http://freshmeat.net/projects/3ddesktop/
It's kind of impressive looking, but I didn't find it particularly
useful.

What about MythTV?  Is there a Windows port?  I know there are similar
products for Windows, but how do they compare?
