Wow, great :).

Just some thoughts:

-) One of the features of Vista will be 'better security' so I think you 
should say sth. about security of Linux: no need of antivirus.
-) One of the advantages of Linux is definitely the package management.
-) Although it might be obvious, I would say that they can mail you for 
free to have an idea what Linux could do for them personally (eg. if 
they mail you they like to play game X, which isn't supported by 
windows, it's no use of convincing them to use Linux).
-) A special service until eg. the end of February, eg. "Free support 
when you run into trouble until the end of February". In that case 
you'll need some more information about it, because when sb. buys 100 
pre-installed linux computers, it might be hard to provide that support.
-) You will probably provide them a link to your homepage 
http://www.linux-service.be, but in my opinion the main page provides to 
much information and I find it hard to find information I really need 
(IMHO). I also read a lot of FUD about Windows (but wouldn't know if 
that's a bad thing).
-) I don't know which logo's you can use in the ad? Is it for example 
legal to use the penguin?

Pff, though one. Wouldn't know :).
