++!

I would also like to recommend ErgoEmacs. I have never tried Easymacs but it seems to have similar goals. Like Easymacs, ErgoEmacs tries to make emacs follow now familiar UI standards. As you may have guessed ErgoEmacs also has the goal of following established ergonomic standards. ErgoEmacs gives the same standard key-bindings like C-c, C-x, C-v, C-n, for copying, pasting, etc but also provides alternatives using Alt because it is easier on the pinky finger.

edit:Correction... ErgoEmacs doesn't seem to bind the Ctrl modifier key to those shortcuts, only the Alt key. This is the same as a Mac's shortcuts. This is different from windows which uses Ctrl.

ErgoEmacs also has a windows installer which comes with many packages and bundles MSYS for UNIX utilities needed for emacs functionality. I use Linux and haven't tried this but I will the next time I use Windows.
