I think the point most people are missing is the fact that he IS sending this out with cards, not as an actual gift. So this goes out to all the guys at the office and weird people from High School you still run into occasionally, etc., not the close friends and family demographic.
Most people would look at the disc, shrug, and hand it to their kid. "Here, Bob sent this, see if you can figure it out". The kid would probably be able to figure it out, and there you have it. A couple of weeks later the family PC Dual boots windows and linux, then a few months down the road the only time anyone loads up Windows is to play a game or two, right?
I don't see the scenario as being far fetched.
