He has two boxes in the office. He uses one of them as a Web server and he'll
start by installing Linux on it.
I showed him some Compiz-fusion a couple of hours ago. He never saw anything
like this before, so he was impressed. No need to mention Windows at all. He
said "this is the future" and, mind you, the guy likes Microsoft. He really
likes their software and respects the company (he known nothing about them).
