It also has a comprehensive help system for beginners and there is also the option of MS tech support to consider (which isn't an option for those using opensource operating systems) Thanks Gazza, everyone’s cents counts :)

If you are indeed aiming this at complete novices, I don't see that they would find an Ubuntu Linux desktop OS any more difficult to learn. Besides all the arguments for running Linux (stable, fast, light on resources), is the price tag - FREE. AND it comes with a FREE office suite comparable to MS Office - which will set you back another couple hundred $$$ if you plan on using your desktop for any kind of office work. That being said its all about personal preference and choice. Do your research before committing to a product. That's my 2c worth anyway...
