Hi,

I am a completely blind person, so I'm not much of a help on magnification, 
however, I can tell you that it is simple enough to get ubuntu up and 
rinning.  Also, you can use the vibuntu distribution as well.

If you wish to try out ubuntu. you can use the wubi installer to install it 
like any windows application, and you'll esentually have a linux system 
allongside your windows.  In that setup, you can test ubuntu with 
magnification.
