Actually, you're a 180 degrees wrong. The fact that a Live Linux CD can,
essentially, install itself (with drivers and competitive applications)
within minutes, is an eye popper in the Windows world. What a Live Linux CD
does is cleanly slice through the M$ FUD. You no longer have to tell people
how well Linux works, you can *show* them how well it works -- without risk
to their Windows installation or having to repartion their hard drive. It's
a huge sale's tool.
