Thoughts about how to get people to change from Windows to Fedora
- Give them FREE live CD's to play with
- See that you are available when they have questions
Why Ubuntu scores better than Fedora (My thoughts)
- Ubuntu focuses on new (M$ Windows) users more than Fedora with very usable LiveCD's
- Ubuntu has OpenOffice on the LiveCD's (It is a complete alternative for M$ Windows/Office)
- Logo is more colourful and attractive + logo comes before the name
Solutions
- Distribute and promote Fedora LiveCD's as alternatives for a normal M$ environment (include OpenOffice)
- Make "free media requests" work on an easy way
