Regular +buntus have become gui bloated
What is weird, was before Unity, everyone said KDE (Kbuntu) was closer to Windows
I tried both and thought Gnome was (Ubuntu) closer.
Nice thin about all of these: Download the Live CD ISO and burn a disk.
Then BOOT that disk and give it a test drive with no changes made to your system. It will boot and run slower, BUT will provide a perfect UI experience.
