I have had feedback (on a leaflet of mine) suggesting that for real 
windows-only users, a FOSS leaflet by itself would be useful. The

Open Source software - is free and can be good quality - and there is 
a community. All with Windows.
It is a short step then, for them to consider Linux as a possibility.
