Lindows — now Linspire — is currently available for free over BitTorrent. (Link) It’s an incredibly well done professional linux distro for non-linux folks wanting to see what it’s all about. I have been messing around with a paid copy of LindowsOS for some time (49.95!) and I really like it. There are a number of features that actually make it a better option for someone completely new to using a computer. It’s very well thought out - the click ‘n run feature is by far the most unique and helpful idea ever for new users looking to seamlessly add software to their systems.
