I was going to point out that a lot of folks have trouble playing music 
out-of-the-box with a fresh install, and we should maybe touch on that.  
The other suggestion I would second is the cross-platform document 
sharing issue.  In my experience at work, it means setting people up so 
that their OpenOffice install will automatically save in .doc and .xls 
formats, so that they don't accidentally send a native OO formatted 
document to the less enlightened.
