I'd think I'd just show them how easy it is to get stuff done on it :-) I'm not convinced I'd show them things like IM/CD burner, more likely to show them that facebook works smoothly in Firefox/Chrome! I don't think I'd show them the Software Centre, chiefly because on my netbook it runs like an absolute dog, and wouldn't be a good advert to them.
