I'm really new to Linux, but I've noticed only recently, that popular Linux programs like Mozilla, GIMP, and OpenOffice have Windows versions. If more Windows users install & use these programs, I'm pretty confident they'll have less of an problem upgrading to Linux, since most users don't work with the OS, they work with programs they like. Another thing I've noticed that openSuse, Fedora & Ubuntu also have excellent updaters that not only keep the OS up to date, it also updates the programs installed. That's something Windows doesn't do.
