When comparing Linux distributions with Windows then it is important to look at what exacly are you comparing.

If you are comparing free Linux distribution with commercial Windows XP then it is not very fair is it?

If you are comparing commercial Linux distribution that comes with all the bells and whistles then it is somehow relevant though.

Ubuntu is very popular but it is one of those free distributions. I personally use Mandriva every day which also has commercial version. Have heard good things about other SUSE too.

Thing with commercial distros is that they have Flash, Java and all such things ready to use. With free Linux distributions you usually have to install them yourself and in some cases it can be real pain in the ass.
