Those whom I know have seen Linux will no longer be the victims of hearsay
(i.e. FUD). They will either move to Linux immediately, make a staged
migration (e.g. via dual-boot), or procrastinate a migration which they
are willing to make. At worst of circumstances, people will say that they
will wait until Linux matures slightly further, e.g. "I need Photoshop on
Linux" or "my favourite game still doesn't run in Wine". They at least
know what GNU/Linux is capable of and will move without hesitation/need
for prodding thereafter.
Best wishes,
Roy
