What details/tools have you found help people transition to similar, open software from closed software, or think could help? (lemm.ee)

I'm thinking of ways to help people move from established software to more open, flexible forms that don't lock them to another organization.

for folks who won't move off windows. portable apps. install it to a folder in the hard drive and when they update machines show them how you just copy it to the new machine. Only downside is it might lessen the incentive to just get off of windows. I would sorta like something like that with an emulator and an ability to run software on any architecture.
