+<PRE>We know that many Windows users refuse to migrate to GNU / Linux because of the
+differences between these two environments. A critical point is the difference
+between the programs used to perform common tasks.
+
+Thinking about it, I had the idea of creating a Mageia Welcome Center. What is
+this? Basically, when Mageia is installed and user will do his first login - or
+when a new user is created and will do your first login, after loading the
+desktop environment, a window like the one I drew below will appear:
+
+<A HREF="http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/925/mageiawelcome.png">http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/925/mageiawelcome.png</A>
+
+This is a simple idea: this window will show friendly descriptions to commom
+tasks besides icons of programs used to perform them. So the user will associate
+the program that needs to use the task that needs doing. When user clicks icon
+or text, the associated program will be launched.
+
+Of course, future we can disable the icons of programs that are not installed or
+provide a way to add more options.
+
+This certainly is a small and easy-to-do program that can be developed in
+minutes and hides a great easter egg ;)
+
+PS: I have the original SVG if someone is interested.
