once I installed thunderbird from it when I thought i might actually boot into windows occasionally, but I only knew they were there from the packaging on the Kubuntu Shipit cds I requested when I decided to get some to hand out to people.

You’re asking the wrong people. WinFOSS is for people who get given a CD but are not ready to convert to a new operating system yet. Readers of Planet Ubuntu are passed that stage.

I hadn’t even known the CD contained these until reading this post… I haven’t noticed their existence being published anywhere (that I’ve visited). Maybe not a problem of wasted disk space but a problem of “PR”?

I usually don’t actually install them from the CD, but I did make good use of the programs included (plus a number of others) back when I still was running Windows, and occasionally now when I’m using it at school. Additionally, I’ve gotten some of my friends and family into Gaim/Pidgin, Xchat, OpenOffice.org, and Firefox on Windows, and the Computer Careers department at my college is pretty into FOSS - we just used Wireshark (aka Ethereal) for a lab this week, for one.
