Also need to think about which window manager - most come with Gnome as default, but KDE is more 'windoze-like'.
Sorry for being a pedant but Gnome & KDE are Desktop Environments and not Window Managers.

Ubuntu,for example,use the Gnome Desktop Environment with the Metacity Window Manager.Theres a few of the more common DE`s & WM`s for any interested parties.

If the machine is up to spec you could try Compiz Fusion (3d effects etc).
The more oomph the merrier for sure but Compiz gets by on far less than certain other eye candy seems to dont you think.
