i believe there is a gnome version of oo that has ms style buttons and stuff.
also gnome or kde should behave enough like windows for normal users. just click on button, click on app. easy!
personally i cant stand using windows at all, i find it cant run the applications i want to use not that it has enough applications. i also find it very unproductive and not very user friendly.
infact all the complaints that are against linux usability i honestly feel against windows.
i mean, how much effort is it to sort a test file in windows vs linux?
cat file.txt | sort > file2.txt
now try that fast in windows.
but seriously, lindows is supposed to be ok. and gnome and kde sites should shed some light.
