start with a web browser, or an editor, or a compiler, or .... First you notice the stuff actually works, in fact its damn good, then you start looking for more, eventually you discover that most of what you are running is free so you actively try to replace the few key apps that are not. Then you move to a free OS. Porting free software to non-free OS's builds a one-way bridge leading to freedom. burn the bridge down and lots of people will not be able to swim that far..
