Updated cebit presentation. Looking for ideas...

[Dan Kegel]

I've been slowly finishing my cebit presentation.  The current draft is at
  http://kegel.com/cebit/

It now talks briefly about winetricks,
and uses firefox and safari as examples
of installing and running platinum and bronze
apps.

It also talks more about support, since a
windows admin I showed it to said windows
admins were generally scared of trying to
support open source apps.

If anyone has suggestions for how to make this
presentation more appealing/informative/convincing to
newbies who are only familiar with windows,
please let me know.

Also, if anyone can tell my why firefox doesn't show the Windows logo
until you refresh sometimes, I'd be grateful.  Maybe it's because
the same image is used twice in the same page?

Perhaps a shot of wine running firefox, with, e.g.,
http://thismachine.info, to show it's running on wine.

A before/after of Safari with corefonts might also be good, to show an
example of what winetricks can fix.

I'll probably do that live.

Heh.  Safari without corefonts hangs.  Hard to capture that in a screenshot :-)

Btw, I have run my last 3 Wine presentations in
OpenOffice_org 2.4 for Win32.

Did not give much crowd "ooooh" effect though.

Ciao, Marcus

I guess I'm not trying to impress, I'm trying to reassure.
So maybe doing it in MS Office 2003 or 2007 in wine
or crossover would be optimal.

yeah using MS office would give the cool factor that openoffice lacks
through wine since it has the native counterpart...
