My parents bought a pc about 4 years ago with with XP on. I taught them how to use e-mail, web browsing for the first time (don't ask how long that took me)
Recently I had to do a re-install, and owing to the pc not coming with a single disk, I went Ubuntu. 2 things surprised me:
They found their way around really quickly, my mom now finds it easier to download and drag-and-drop videos of her grandson than ever before!
And my 81 year old father no longer needs his glasses for e-mail. Exactly the same hardware, lighting etc. and still using Chrome. The only difference being the operating system.
Even in comparison to win 7 I find Ubuntu easier on my eyes. Now if only Autodesk would release Linux versions...
