Before you invest too much time and money into a solution, I'd check to see if Microsoft is going to continue providing patches for you to apply. Last I heard, Win95, Win98, and NT4 were all on the chopping block for continued support.
Another solution you could examine is Terminal Services. If you only have one system, keeping it patched is pretty straightforward. Or Citrix, if you need things like local disk access and printing.
Using NT Workstation, or Windows 2000 Workstation, you can do that sort of thing with Group Policies, or Novell ZENWorks, which will do that and much more.
Home-user OS's don't have support for this sort of thing natively, because they're not designed for this sort of application.
For a TV demonstration, try CD Burning.
I installed knoppix on my IBM thinkpad, default install (which may be the only way with knoppix) and plugged in my USB CD/RW drive, it was automatically detected as a SCSI device. Launch CDBakeOven as root (also already installed), drag and drop, and done.
It's as simple as using Roxio/Nero under windows, which means it's come a long way from writing bash scripts for mkisofs and cdrecord.
As it's something that people do regularly, it would be nice to show off that linux can be user friendly for day to day tasks.
Also, OpenOffice.org is quite impressive, intuitive, and visual.
In my (humble) opinion, the programmes included with the knoppix distro are a good general selection for showing off. (:
Television networks are now going to be using technology to keep people from flipping the channels or leaving thier seats during commercial breaks.
A leading Network Executive has been quoted as saying "These crooks have gotten away with this for too long, they will no longer PEE on OUR TIME!"
The technology used is not being revealed.

I've got a peice of laminated particle board on cinder blocks, with a shelf I built out of some scavanged pallet lumber.
yeah, my desk is redneck, what's your point?
Can I get odds?
I'll give you 12 Gore votes for a Nader and a first round fringe candidate.
I'm the one, it was me all along, I put the rubber snake on Mrs. Montgomery's chair in Grade 3!
I invented New Coke!
I shot J.R.
...and I came up with the idea for Pop-Under Advertising!
I throw myself on the mercy of the /.court
I wonder how long before we can buy quark-gluon plasma tweeters
and what sort of frequency response we'll be getting.
These are exciting times, we learn more and more about the fundimental nature of our universe, understanding more about our selves in the process.
Next, I propose we search for the speed of SMART, and find some way we can control it's direction.
THAT will be a great breakthrough for humanity.

*sings* It's life, Jim, but not as we know it..
We'll have to watch it carefully, if there is life there, they could be coming here next
... they just decompile.

I wonder if those in-car record players had 45 second ESP...
