I have had my parents using Ubuntu for about 2 years now. They are both in their 70's and have no problems with the simple daily tasks they need(mostly email and web). I update their computer about every 3 months and don't ever hear about viruses and computer crashes. They are happily running Ubuntu on a single core machine with 1G memory and its plenty fast enough for them. I haven't used windows since about 2004 and haven't missed a thing.
