I admit that I'm a geek. I use Linux. I use Solaris. I use FreeBSD. At times, I use Windows. And without a doubt, I download and try almost every Linux distribution when they come out. Over the last few years, I've tried all of the RedHat/Fedora releases, 2 different Lindows/Linspire releases, Mandrake, Gentoo, Xandros, Suse, Ubuntu, and the list goes on.

Dark Knight:
Everything you listed is accurate, and completely irrelevant to singleton Windows users taking their first look at Linux.
KRiSX: It has been repeated here ad infinitum, but...the "free" in free software has nothing at all to do with price. It is all about the freedom of the source code itself. If you abide by the license, you can stick emacs on a CD and sell it for $1000 a pop if you wanna. More to the point, the notion that free software's raison d'etre is to allow people to get software without paying for it will ruin the whole thing in the long run.
