Pity this issue had to become a long drawn out debate, hopefully something came of it? I think the idea of asking Symantic if they would do some sort of sponsorship with Ghost would be a great idea. Since they have taken over PowerQuest and integrated PQMAGIC as part of ghost it will kill many birds with one stone. The original idea was to make it as easy as possible for someone to make the move to Linux, but it seems that it is going to remain an exercise for the techno geek. Someone commented on why anyone who wanted to move to linux would wont to keep windows on the HDD, well there are many things Linux will not do, or do well enough or in a simple manor that would require going into windows on the odd occasion. Also a person might wont to migrate their existing data into Linux, which rules out things like Knoppix as it still requires somewhere to maintain a persistent presence. Perhaps the other side of the coin is "buy an all in one sub $1000 HP and forget about Linux".
