If you really don't want to scare them off, running a rootless Cygwin/X server
will let you pop up X client on their totally familiar Windows desktop.

Roll a few icons that ssh to the Linux box and run the GUI app pointed back
at their Windows PC - the X11 forward will do this for you.

Or are you trying to entice them with a nice non-Windows desktop?
