Heck, I'd say the easiest OS to install is Mandrake or some other "easy" Linux like Ubuntu or Xandros. Of course, that's driven by the need to get people to actually use the OS.

Windows isn't meant to be installed by the average user -- it's tough to make a claim that the OS isntallation is part of ease of use. Not to mention, the recovery cd's that come with computer systems like Dell's or Compaqs are even easier to install than any *nix distribution. Drop the cd in the drive and some time later it boots into a fresh install.

On a side note, it's hard to bother taking anything that link says seriously considering the color scheme....
