I PUT mint 13 on my computer yesterday and it immediately paniced after entering my password. So I went back to mint 12. After upgrading the kernel there are no issues with mint 12. And if I didn't need to run it off of battery I wouldn't need to upgrade the kernel.

Loaded Mint 13 Maya on a drive last night. Looks A LOT like Zorin. Going to play with mint & Zorin for a bit. They both look promising for a winbabes.
although Ylmf looked promising, my friend's machine, who this is all about, is nearly new hardware (1 yr)

From a new user perspective, mint (or others) may be better out-of-install, but a lack of features like install methods for raid/lvm/crypto functions just tell me its immature or a sub-grade knock-off. I'm not an enterprise, just security aware and conscious of mtbf on drives to want/expect enterprise features (it *is* linux still), and more people should too (especially when mint uses ubuntu as a base already).
I'd rather just use ubuntu as the distro without unity on it as a base and get general industry support, especially for video driver blob support as it and fedora/cent are the standard vendors are willing to support.
I'd like to see what kind of experience mint users have with dist-upgrades as well. Something tells me if canonical isn't catching the big things that break the os, Mint isn't going to either.
As for windoze-y linuxes, this odd distro is still going... Remembered this from years ago that looked waaay too much like windoze if that's what you're looking for:
http://www.ylmf.org/en/index.html
It *is* based on 10.04 LTS, so at least you get some software support, and hopefully not just odd tcp socket connections back to chinese ip addresses.

I've been having pretty good results with Linux Mint Maya v13 using the
MATE desktop for the last week or so now. I don't run the newest fastest
hardware. I was a big Ubuntu fan for the longest time, but I just cannot
warm up to the Unity desktop on a desktop PC, although it's OK on my
netbook with a small screen. Gnome3 desktop wasn't working out for me
either. The last straw was updating Ubuntu to 12.04 and it hosed up two
machines. Sure, a fresh install likely would have worked, but I was due
for a new desktop. Just my two cents.
distrowatch.org is good reference for selecting a distro best for you.

Winblows. So far, school's out for this one, but i'm giving it a
chance for a while for it to grow on me so to speak.
