I recommended Mandriva for both newbies and professionals. Mostly updated than other distributions, great cooker repository, easy to install and use, well tested packages. You can try live cd version and install free version. To be honest, i prefer powerpack version which comes 3rd party software licences such as cedega.

It is released! I use Mdv 2008 pwp and i can say it looks like windows. Don't hesitate, it is still mandriva, just maked up
