It's a difficult question to answer. It's like asking why one would purchase a mac despite glaring price differences. It's just personal preference and needs. For example, I have my main windows box for gaming, a gentoo linux box running as my fileserver and a G5 powermac for AV editing.

Why don't you try out Wubi and see for yourself? It's designed to be installed and installed like a windows app so even an idiot like me could try it out.

Ubuntu (Gnome), Kubuntu (KDE), OPENsuse (KDE or Gnome?), Mandrake (not sure, from some screeens it looks like KDE). Those are a few distros that are good for beginners.

EDIT: Kind of a bad video, they don't show all of what you can really do. Just search for beryl.
EDIT 2: And the good thing about Ubuntu is is that it is a liveCD and installer, so you can do whatever on the liveCD while you install. Plus the liveCD has Gparted on it (partitioning program) which comes in really handy.
