Sounds great! This would make upgrading people to Linux extremely
painless. It should be an option in Anaconda or firstboot, such as
"One-time copy users (creates new users automatically) and files from
Windows partition" and/or "Synchronize Windows users and files every
hour (or setup a watchdog)" with a little applet in the taskbar showing
the status of the sync.
Hardcore Linux junkies may shrug this off and say its uncalled for and
call you names, but ignore them. They will always act that way. You are
doing the Fedora community a service with this idea by increasing the
reach of Linux in general to everyday Joe Smoes.

Michael
