maybe this will help: http://www.nmt.edu/~val/howto.html
I have converted half of my family to Linux, but they are not so fanatic
in MS, like it you wife seems to be, and because they are my sister and
mother, they can get divorced from me :D (SCNR)
Try to make the fedora look as much as possible like Windows. change
names of Icons if needed (like editor for gedit or Word for Openoffice),
but for the other things linux is perfect.

I hope you will have success!
