Easy are those not to install on HD (optional) like DSL (Damn Small Linux - the smallest OS), PCLinuxOS, PuppyLinux. Freespire is very near to WindowsXP.
All above linux flavors can boot and run through CD.
You can collect linux flavors on below links and test by yourself. I have about 2 dozens of linuxes and still checking which is 'useful' for me!

As long as most software runs only on windows there is no good substitute. Apple is the second biggest competitor You may partition your disk and use 2 operating systems like linux and windows.

Red Hat from Linux is just about your only other option on a PC, unless you make a complete conversion to a Mac, but I definately prefer Windows.

The Fedora Code series is a redhat linux flavour of desktop

You may also choose Ubuntu which again is a Linux OS

I cant comment on MacOS but let me assure you that there will always be a learning curve involved in switching to a different OS... but all the best!

Linux and FreeBSD are the only current alternatives, BeOS and OS/2 are outdated.
Unless you throw in Macs, or betting on OS X on PC hardware soon.

Zeta (-> http://www.yellowtab.com/products/ ), based on BeOS, is fairly easy to install and use. As well as quite fast even on older hardware.
