If you are looking for something similar to Windows then stick to Windows XP..

If you are looking for something radically different and refereshing then you could try out Ubuntu DVD

Linux is a different OS,let us learn it rather than trying to make/find it similar to Windows.I'll say if u r a n00b,try mandriva...

Linspire looks the most like Windows(See Screenshot:*www.osnews.com/img/1.png)

Ubuntu has GNOME interface(which does not resemble windows)
So try Kubuntu which uses KDE (Screenshot:*www.easylinuxcds.com/catalog/images/kubuntu_48.gif)

ubuntu/Kubuntu is great. However, Kubuntu is better as KDE is a bit more comfortable than GNOME(that's my opinion). Mandriva Linux is also very good. It is extremely user friendly. If you want it similar to windows, try out Linspire(formerly Lindows).

Start this way for KDE. Kubuntu > Ubuntu > Fedora

Frankly speaking, any distro is worth it, all are made for masses =/

I started with Xandros 1.0 ...

If u r a new user to linux. Then Mandriva is the best. You need fairly good linux experience for using ubuntu. Suse is also good but needs some tweaking skills. So start with Mandriva then move to suse if u want more out of Linux.
