As per the last comment I think that to the extent that this bug is
reasonable to fix, we have done so - the help system (accessed from the
question mark on the desktop) provides a New to Ubuntu section, and
the Switching from Windows? guide is shipped on the livecd so that it
appears to users who
I must admit that though I'm quite familiar with Windows, I had a few
difficulties when switching to Ubuntu; the GUI is clean and easy enough

for beginners.
The best solution I can think
This bug report has now been rewritten to a very different proposal,
that of bifurcating Ubuntu's interface based on whether users self-
identify as beginners or experienced. That is no longer to do with
the Ubuntu documentation.
It is also an idea that has repeatedly been shown not to work. It

the Live CD that appears when you insert it on a Windows system.
