What would be the best version of ConTeXt to recommend to a friend who writes novels on a PC running Windows? The person has no programming skills. He would probably require some assistance installing Tex-Live or whatever and would need a stable version because he couldn't manage frequent updates. Problems would far outweigh additional features for him.

ConTeXt is under development, so IMHO there is no "stable" version. If you need it you have to live with it, no choice :-)

Maybe ConTeXt minimal (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals) ? ConTeXt mkii is *stable* ConTeXt mkiv is under very active development, so it's unstable --- but usable.

Both come with minimals. -- luigi
