Hi Álvaro,
I think your question is not very clear. What does "cybers Windows" mean? I can't find any reference to a "Fedora KIOS Spin" (unless you mean "kiosk" spin).
Promotion of any project, including Fedora, needs to be done carefully. If you push people away from tools they are happy with to something new, they may reject it out of hand. All then that is accomplished is a group of people who speak badly when they hear "Fedora".
Promoting a project means that you have to share the good and the bad. People have to have a realistic view of what the technology can do and where people might run into trouble. You need to help people understand what they gain from a new project and how difficult they should expect the learning curve to be. There is a good chance that the benefits do not (yet) outweigh the learning curve. In such a case, they are better to stay on the tools they know for now.
Hope this helps.
Do not know the reason by it fedora kiosk spin edition was discontinued, but the same functionality can to achieve with xguest package. So you don't need anything more for install Fedora as a kiosk El jul 14, 2013 1:19 p.m., "Digimer" lists@alteeve.ca escribió:

For a kiosk, being able to disconnect on idle is a nice feature, you do not want someone who forgot to disconnect from gmail to have his account compromised if someone use the kiosk after. Ideally, having xguest disconnecting rather than locking the screensaver would be a way to implement this.
And usually, in a cyber cafe, you also want to be able to limit the time spent on the session by disconnecting after a time, and display that time to the customers.
You also want to let people connect only if they paid :)

Not sure what cybers is? Are you looking for kiosk type functionality.
