Great point...this is why my Mom's next computer is getting Linux. I convinced her that she'd be no worse off, since she basically knows nothing about Windows any way. And my being able to remotely administer would be better. And she'd avoid all the MS license shenanigans.
She's all for it. :) As for a "Windows cookbook"...I've never seen one that written quite like that. I had to write the basics down for my 88 year-old mother-in-law, and she gets along surprisingly well as long as she sticks to the keyboard hot-keys/shortcuts and stays off the mouse (shaky hands at that age). Good luck!

With newer desktop distros like Redhat8 or even Mandrake9, the learning curve for a brand-new computer user isn't really any steeper than it is for Windows. Just my .02.
