That people do not want to pay money to get things, I can understand.
But when people do not want to get things, which are offered to them for free, makes me think.
I do understand you charge the price for the service, not for the operating system.
But still, Linux itself, is completely free of charge and people still would rather want something commercial.
EDIT:
Lightweight distro could indeed help to run an old computer better for the sake of office tasks, though I would hesitate promising people gaming, unless you are going to be very murky about what you mean - this, or the cloud services, which come at significant price of monstrous bandwidth unlimited.
