Ars has a review of Ubuntu 7.10. They conclude: "Ubuntu 7.10 provides an unparalleled desktop Linux experience and sets new standards for power and ease of use. This release lives up to Ubuntu's reputation and delivers cutting-edge new features and solid enhancements. Although Ubuntu 7.10 is very impressive, some of the new additions - particularly Compiz and Tracker - lack the polish and robustness that they need to truly shine. These technologies are still a work in progress and give Ubuntu 7.10 a slightly unfinished feel. Ubuntu also unfortunately inherits some of the minor weaknesses of the GNOME desktop environment."

... or for that matter any USB memory devices either:

In fact, you would be best off to simply warn all your friends to simply not put any new media into a Windows machine at all, so that way they could be safe. Also, warn them not to connect their Windows machine to the Internet, because they might get malware from there.

(BTW, isn't it strange the way that these type of articles mention the danger of infection of "PCs", but they somehow neglect to qualify that by saying they mean actually "Windows PCs"?)
Tell all your friends (especially non-tech ones) that they will be fine using Windows as long as the don't connect to the Internet, and they don't put any media (such as hard drive, USB memory, CDROM, DVD ... that kind of thing) into their machine. So, as long as they are content to stick with the Notepad & Paint software that came with the machine, they will be just fine & dandy ...
