One of the ways to make the tranformation smooth is for them to try it out without any risks. A Fedora Live CD would do the job.

Sure Fedora is a bit more harder than XP, but as long as the basic things that you mention (word processing, email, web, chat, etc) get done as easily as XP, there should be no problems.
