Whenever someone tells me about the problem they're having on Windows (which I haven't used on my computer in years) or any Apple OS I explain how I would fix it Linux if I don't happen to know how on their OS. If the Linux way is easier I also usually give it as a comparison.
I only really do this with people who I know could easily get Linux working and people already interested in Linux.
I've started to do this as well, simply so they feel like I'm engaged with the conversation.
It's funny, lately they start to realize how much nicer my computer is than theirs.
