I was a Windows user until I heard about this underground operating system called Linux. I was told it was better than Windows and I think the curiosity prompted me to install it. I am now in love with it. I think sometimes curiosity prompts people to try Linux. Second, Linux had to provide me with a "better" alternative to Windows. I wouldn't stay in Linux if it didn't do things better than Windows. Getting people to know that Linux is better requires more than just word of mouth. People have to be shown, or at least install it on their own and experience it.
For what I know, Gateway had this machine out before the new iMac was released at MacWorld. My school had an entire lab of the Gateway LCD/computers in the fall.
