Well you know that will be a mixed result. Some will like the familiarity of KDE due to the similarity between it and windows layout so a good compromise is kinda like the suggestion by Uffe. GnoMenu so the menu can be placed in the lower left corner and moving the notification indicator applet and firefox to the lower panel then remove the top panel.
While it might make it more complex to use 2.7 it sure does run great. If you haven't tried it yet you should. Thee really pulled a rabbit out of his hat this time with bug fixes and performance tweaks.
And they would be able to explore the various windows managers and choose for themselves. I would consider that a learning experience too. Windows always looks like windows but linux can look like anything you want it to.
Just my thoughts on it. I take it you'll use remasterysys so it will be what you make it.
