Depends on your needs, What are you gonna do with it?
If you want something that is Vista like in the looks check out the new Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon".

There is also a distro called 'Vixta' that is nearly identical Vista. Personally, I had the most luck with Ubuntu Studio, but any Ubuntu distro really is very user friendly.

start with Ubuntu. I suggest also trying the various Fedora realeses, I use Fedora 7 for all my school work and its pretty simple, setting up dual head was a bit of a pain though.

Wireless funkiness is a known issue with many Linux distros. Go to ubuntuforums.com and look in their Networking area - you'll probably get a much quicker solution as they deal with it all the time.
