I'm interested in something like Freespire eating into the Mickeysoft desktop space, since that distro provides non-purists with legal and free as in beer access to all the multi-media drivers / codecs / other fru-fru that one needs to compete with a Winders or Mac MM desktop.
installing automatix in Ubuntu is very easy (no command line needed) and addresses all the non driver, free like beer stuff. I've heard nasty reports about it, but it's been fine on every system I've put it on (four so far with Ubuntu 6.10), and probably is only an issue if you're doing custom setup of stuff - so should be ok for any non-geek.
