Looks like Mint might be less of a stress on windows users..
I just tried both of these distributions on my netbook last night and I have to say Linux Mint was definitely easier when it came to getting my drivers. Wireless was especially a pain to get going again. Being a complete beginner, I searched for hours trying to find a way to install my wireless driver on Ubuntu and finally I gave up and tried Mint. 2 minutes after installation, inside a not-so-hidden menu, the driver was there waiting to be activated.
It's safe to say I'm sticking with Mint for the time being
