One piece of software that would help people migrate to linux would be a simple to use GUI VPN client.
I've been using the command line one from cisco for the cisco VPN server. It works ok, but It really should have a GUI like the windows version does.
One more thing a cheap laptop in linux will need is 3D DRI support. I'm not talking high-end Geforce4-Go, but something with at least 16M of video ram that can do hardware openGL. I personally wouldn't buy a laptop with cheap video that only does 3d in windows.
I've been seeing more and more people playing games on their laptops. Just something else to consider I guess.
