Obviously you're not asking a technical question here but asking for opinion and everyone's opinion may be different. However, to get the ball rolling here's my opinion..........
For VM software take a look at VirtualBox. It's free and comes from an extremely reputable source (Oracle). It's easy to install, learn and use.
For a Linux with GUI distro for users already trained on MS Windows take a look at Zorin. The project team built this to emulate Windows and, hopefully, avoid those users having to retrain.
Hope that helps.

rifiuti2
RIFIUTI2(1) A MS Windows recycle bin analysis tool RIFIUTI2(1)
NAME
rifiuti2 - A MS Windows recycle bin analysis tool
SYNOPSIS
rifiuti [ -x ] [ -tnl8 ] [ -o outfile ] filename
rifiuti-vista [ -x ] [ -n8 ] [ -o outfile ] file_or_directory
DESCRIPTION
Rifiuti2 is a rewrite of rifiuti, a great tool from Foundstone folks for analyzing Windows Recycle Bin INFO2 file. Analysis of Windows
Recycle Bin is usually carried out during Windows computer forensics. Rifiuti2 can extract file deletion time, original path and size of
deleted files and whether the deleted files have been moved out from the recycle bin since they are trashed. Rifiuti2 supports the INFO2
file format found in Windows up to Windows XP and the new file format found in Vista, and the program is fully internationalized. If you
need to analyse recycle bins of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, you should use the rifiuti-vista command, for other Windows plat-
forms, you should use the rifiuti command.
Quoting from original Foundstone page:
Many computer crime investigations require the reconstruction of a subject's Recycle Bin. Since this analysis technique is executed
regularly, we researched the structure of the data found in the Recycle Bin repository files (INFO2 files). Rifiuti, the Italian
word meaning "trash", was developed to examine the contents of the INFO2 file in the Recycle Bin. ... Rifiuti is built to work on
multiple platforms and will execute on Windows (through Cygwin), Mac OS X, Linux, and *BSD platforms."
Since the original rifiuti (last updated 2004) is restricted to English version of Windows (fail to analyze any non-latin character), thus
this rewrite. But it does more:
* Supports Windows in any other languages besides English
* Supports Vista and 2008 (they don't use INFO2 file any more)
* Enables localization (that is, translatable)
* More rigorous error checking
* Supports output in XML format
OPTIONS
These are plain text output options:
-t --delimiter=STRING
String to use as delimiter (TAB by default)
-n --no-heading
Don't show header
-l --legacy-filename
Show legacy filename instead of unicode
-8 --always-utf8
Always show file names in UTF-8 encoding
These are general application Options:
-o --output=FILE
Write output to FILE
-x --xml
Output in XML format (-t, -n, -l, -8 options will have no effect)
--from-encoding=ENC
The assumed file name character set when no unicode file name is present in INFO2 record (mandatory if INFO2 file is created by
Win98, useless otherwise)
