It's very Windows user friendly.
I agree, Ubuntu is probably one of the best distros. I would not hesitate to recommend it to someone who whats to try Linux, but is afraid of the command line. I've got it as on my machine with Windows too, as a duel boot system. (Dual-booting is another issue all together!  )
I'm even thinking I'd like to put my kids on Ubuntu when I eventually get them new PCs.
One big downside - I can't run e-Sword on it. But I can run the Sword from Crosswire Bible. | Brother,
I run E-Sword on Ubuntu!!!!!!!!!!!
