That guy would be me.

I think that xfce4 with automounting enabled will cover most of us desktop/laptop users as a (suggested) default. xfce4 works with 2d or even VESA video and so can work on older machines.

xfce4 can be made to look like Windows XP (panel at the bottom, notifications on the right and applications on a menu on the left) which almost all of my family, friends, neighbours and students are familiar with. That reduces the 'unfamiliarity' of e.g. a laptop handed round a meeting or an old desktop in a cafe for Web surfing.
