100% agree. My dad of late 60s has been using it for the past 3+ years now. There is absolutely no hassle with upgrading and virus/spam. I setup his gmail account to retrieve email from his other email address and I trust gmails virus scanning.
It saves him the hassle of calling me every couple of hours with popup messages that he was getting with XP.
Ubuntu is safe, dependable, and seriously customizable. Best thing is I can just ssh to his computer and upgrade, remove and install new applications without a gui. Its just so efficient at what it does.
Alternately the MacOSX would be my second choice for ease of use.
