This could also be taken a step further and have examples of the types
of X environments available, which is really what you would need to show
people to get them interested, including maybe a couple of Office style
apps such as Applix.

I reckon a couple of good setups of FVWM (yes, it's awful, but it LOOKS
like 95 and if the intent is to entice people to turn away from the
"Dark Side", then you need something they will be comfortable with), KDE
(which I reckon is just the duck's nuts) and whatever else people like
would be ideal.
