His approach is commendable, and not what I've tried to do myself.
I've seen that in trying to get people using Linux sometimes fails because the applications are different (Libreoffice v MS Office, etc) so getting them used to the different apps first on their old platform does make sense. Mind you, some people just will not be persuaded to use anything but MS Office.

Here's an interesting discussion on the issues getting Windows users to switch. Nothing new here, but nice to be reminded of the challenges from people who live it and work with it both in their personal lives and at work (even if the host, Matt, vehemently HATES KDE).
