It appears to me Kubuntu's navigation scheme is the most like windows I personally have seen yet in a Linux distro.
Within the last year I have installed: Unity, Tiny-Core, Archbang, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Mint, Puppy, Slitaz, Pinguy, Magea, SnowLinux, Zorin and Ubuntu Studio
My old time stand-by is Ubuntu-Maverick with Gnome 2 which I still have and use on a daily basis along with XP.
Have win7 also but hardly ever use it.
Tried to get used to Unity for about 4 months.
But it was *DOG* slow compared to all of the others, and the built-in-spyware issue gave me bad vibes.
So.......PUFF!!.... gone :-]
Slitaz and Archbang appear to be the two mini-distros that are very stable and, as they are mini, they are very fast.
For a windows oriented user with an old PC, I would highly recommend Slitaz!!
Oh yeh....puppy was fast....but all those cartoon icons!!....not my cup of tea.
I have a feeling that Pinguy will eventually be the most popular with users coming over from windows.
And Kubuntu will be in second place behind it.
IMHO, Kubuntu has become so sophisticated, it blows away Unity, unless your a tablet oriented user.
