I happened to use this a couple of days ago on my family's
newly-Ubuntuized computer. It's working surprisingly well! My plan is
to let them use the computer for a month or two, decide they don't
hate it, /then/ tell them they're using Linux and not an "upgraded
version of Windows", since they for some reason are prejudiced against
Linux right now.

For a matching usplash (that progress bar that Ubuntu has on startup)
Windows XP theme, try

. I haven't used it, but have heard good things.
