Thats great. Kudos for your effort and your idea.

I hope you will provide them support even though your competition is
over. However, may be you can guide them to join this mailing list so
that even if you are not able to provide them support regularly they
can get help through this mailing list.
It would be sad if they revert back to Windows due to lack of support.
