Quoted:

* Fix their spyware problem. Share with them that spyware is one of the reasons you don't use Windows.
* Admit that using Linux has a learning curve, but it's one that you think is worthwhile.
* Show them Compiz. Microsoft marketed an entire operating system on worthless visual thrills. Compiz is free, and cooler.
* Give them a LiveCD. Offer to help them. Follow through on the offer.
* Remember Wubi, it's an easy way to try Linux.


That's pretty much what I do, in practice I get to upgrade them to Linux, because they suddenly realise there is a way out of their current set of potentially recurring problems.
