If you need to choose a desktop, and that's all you know, Windows is the best choice. Additionally, if you are asked what desktop to install who apparently _cannot_ answer the question "What do you want to do with it?" then again Windows is the best choice, because it is specifically designed for people who aren't exactly sure what they want to do with their system. Interestingly, in serverland, the general answer is not as obvious, because UNIX and Windows are about equally distributed in that domain. However, if someone asked me for a server recommendation and _didn't know_ what he wanted to use the server for, I'd recommend Windows, as Windows is easier to administer for the clueless.
