Could my wife be switching to Ubuntu?

Could my wife really be going to Ubuntu?
Throughout the course of time Rachel, my wife, has seen me function on Ubuntu and enjoy myself every moment along the way. Ubuntu has finally developed a polished interface and is “sexy”. Best of all it is easy to use. Each distro release comes closer and closer to the a solid desktop.
Recently, I suppose, my wife has felt at a loss in regards to the fact that software licensing under Microsoft has become so expensive. The most recent being Adobe Pro, which she needs for school. But why use Adobe Pro when Ubuntu offers so many tools which accomplish the same function like GIMP, Inkscape, Openoffice, etc?
Perhaps I can sway her away from Microsoft. I really feel strongly that once she experiences Ubuntu she will fall in love with the OS. I suppose only time will tell. Wish me luck in converting another from the darkness to the light.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t totally hate Microsoft. You might find me posting the symbol M$, but I’d be a fool not to admit that there is a reason that M$ holds over 90% of the market share. Perhaps the reason as to why their market share is dropping is due to the reasons why even my wife is switching to Ubuntu…
