I'll just tell you how I got into Linux.

When I was a student, couldn't afford Microsoft products and looked on the net for cheap software.

I found this "free operating system" (Slackware) and decided to give it a go. I've been hooked ever since.

It proved useful to me at Uni as I was learning Unix at the time, so could practice at home.

BTW Linux isn't really geeky now and generally comes with enough apps to make it useful out of the box. (eg openoffice.org). With WineX you are able to play a large number of games.
So, there sales pitch should be "It's free"?
