Good point... Just make sure to let them know that, if they want to
get free from proprietary SW, the most important thing is, even when
working on Windows, to produce/exchange files in open formats. In

(windows + OOo AND producing only OOo formats) 

is much better than:

(linux + GUI + OOo to release MS Office formats)
