O.P. (Reasonably) New to Linux
Years ago I tried Mandriva (well when it was Mandrake.. must've been about 2003-2004?)

Anyways I've grown tired lately of Microsoft, Windows et al.. e.g. have been using OpenOffice and am really intrigued by ReactOS..

Anyways I'm looking at putting Linux on my laptop (probably as a Dual-Boot)

I want one that has a simple GUI.. probably the only good thing I liked about Windows.. preferably one that is not too dissimilar to Windows to be fair.

Not worried about what softwarre comes with the distro, i mean I can download that but want something that will nigh on replace need for Windows..

What I've found so far is: Lin/Freespire, XandrOS are supposed to be near XP in their style..

Any ideas? I don't have CDs large enough to burn the ISO images so I will have to pay the small fee for a distribution so would like one I won't regret!
