To be entirely unbiased here, this covers user friendly distros that pretty much blow windows away for "default experience".

Windows has adware and scareware - more so it has config-cluster-fuckification (I believe this is the academic term for it?). This is where windows lost me - when it started bundling basic config options together to force you to relinquish your privacy. Now it's "edit the registry or gtfo"...
