According to Dick's original email they already "use web based email" 
and are looking to go to broadband.  They also seem worried about 
Trojans and Spyware, which suggests they're not using a more secure OS 
such as Linux.  Since they don't already have Linux, this says to me 
that their only experience with computers is Windows based.  Possibly 
Mac but less likely as those are more expensive than the equivalent PC 
and it's a charity with a short budget.

Ergo they need some mechanism to show them the comparison between the 
two and a way to smooth the transition.  Dual-boot seems the best way.

Kind regards,

Julian
