I’m not ready for full-blown Linux on my desktop at work, but I find that a well-tuned cygwin install (with puttycyg, openssh, etc) makes Windows very tolerable.

I guess Linux purists will frown, but in my (probably too simple) mind, that means putting a Linux touch in Windows.
I’m typically a GUI guy, but there are some things that are just way quicker with CLI: then why not using it?

With the freedom to customize which Linux fosters, telling them to ‘look under the Applications Menu > Internet > . . .’ may result in even more confusion than trying to guide a Windows novice using Windows 7 when you are using an old Windows XP SP2 box.
