Actually, having played around with a lot of Linux distributions, trying to find one I could use I have found 2 that would likely fit your requirements: Xandros (you can try for free) and Linspire.

Now a lot of Linux zealots will rant and rave that Linspire is a rip-off cause you have to pay $50 a year for free programs (i.e. their download warehouse), but for ease of use for grandma and anyone else who has better things to do with their time it is a no brainer.

Xandros is similar, with a download warehouse that has programs that just work. No commands, no figuring out anything, simply select and install.

Linspire usually has some sort of free trial as well.

Good Luck.
