I'd say that are quite a few :)

I myself did and do not have much luck (around 6 or 7 computers 
converted), but in the city where I live many people buy new computers 
often so they're already using Windows 8/7 or Apple which makes it 
harder to convert them, if you can't succeed with the argument of 
software freedom... but try to explain to an Apple guy that his mac is 
evil ;-)
