"golden" opportunity here...

Really? This is Windows Vista?!
See the "Mojave Experiment"
What do people think of Windows Vista when they don't know it's Windows
Vista? We did a little experiment, introducing a group of people to
Microsoft's "new" operating system, code named "Windows Mojave." But we
actually showed them Windows Vista. Watch these videos to see the
surprising things they had to say

Check back for updates in the coming weeks, because this experiment is
still going on!

the link goes to a heavy flash-based presentation -- mostly video
interviews of the (140) participants.  As the blurb above says, they
called it "windows mojave" and dumped it on users who have not used
Vista.  I'd say we should do a similar study -- call it "windows
Sahara", and run KDE -and- Gnome on various distros, and video the
results -- "Really?  This is Linux?" ;) :) :) :)

thoughts?
