My experience with the first release was not all that amazing, I found them to be trying to emulate windows xp, very shabbly.
I also tried other distros and got a similar feel, for example Licoris in Lindows.
On the otherhand I tried Mepis linux recently and I found that despite being newbie friendly (I'm a linux newbie so I can speak with authority here) it remains very polished and simple to use, without trying to exactly copy winxp and failing.
