I didn't notice the last part.. I have Kubuntu installed on my Dell1505 (with a 1.6ghz Dual Core). Dual boot is pretty easy. You may be a little put off by the partitioner, though, so find a friend that understands whats going on there if necessary.
If you want an interface more like Windows, use Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu. Kubuntu has KDE, which is more Windows like and infinitely configurable. Ubuntu has Gnome. Gnome is basically designed for the lowest common denominator and isn't very Windows like. Its not very configurable.

Dual boot works great with Vista.
