Actually, I don't know. While it maybe nice to show them how our software is cool, without having to install linux or so, but nobody wants them running all of our software on their OS

We already have Firefox, OpenOffice.org, the GIMP, and GAIM/Pidgin running on Windows.
Running an entire stack of "free stuff" (ignoring the Firefox argument here) on a non-free OS is still a lack of freedom. I'd push for all the stuff businesses use to stop getting put on windows- MySQL and similar- so businesses will actually see a price benefit from GNU/Linux, which would raise interest therein.
