I am new here but am very impressed.  I run a small office and it has been my goal for a long time to find a professional-looking distribution that my windows-familiar staff could learn to use easily.  Thanks for producing what you've done so far, and I look forward to hanging around.

One thing I thought I would mention is that if the goal is to go after former windows users, and you want to make them feel at home, you might want to consider talking about the latest Kingsoft office for linux version -- http://www.wps.com/

If you set the user interface for "classic" , the word processor and the spreadsheet look for all the world like Microsoft Word and Excel from about 2003 -- very professional looking and feature rich.  I've just started playing with it so I can't vouch for it, but boy does it make me feel at home from my windows days.  I'm not a fan of the "ribbon" interface that Microsoft adopted (many years ago) but I gather that Kingsoft's ribbon is pretty familiar-looking too.
