The only difference between them is the desktop environment they install by default.

I chose to use Ubuntu because I wanted to give Gnome a good shot. I had only use KDE environment previously. So far I am liking it a lot better. I am still a huge newb to linux though.

One you may not really like: it looks and feels a bit like Windows so it makes switching easier.

About 10 years ago, I experimented with the KDE GUI but at that time it was a true challenge for my Windows-based mind...

I hope you can enjoy Ubuntu. It's great fun!

Regs,

You can always try to set up Wine... might work for a number of your Win-progs.

It is easy to administer and works great and looks very polished.
