You might also want to take a look at Ubuntu Studio. These are special repackagings of Ubuntu Linux with multimedia applications included. This might be the easiest starting place, since you can just run the installer from the CD image and get a whole Ubuntu machine with the multimedia apps at once.
My experience with LiVES is that computing horsepower matters a lot. You want to run these applications on the fastest machines you can get. Under an hour doesn't seem all that "late" to me!

I am confused. Are these OS's like Windows or are they just programs, especially Ubuntu? Also, do these programs allow particle effects? I'm interested in creating what this MAD video has done, all the text disappearing into sparkles, illustrations rotating and zooming in/out, etc.

Both these are "open-source" programs than run in Linux. (Migufuchi asked for "freeware," which both of these are.) They do not, as far as I know, run in Windows or OS X.
Ubuntu is a Linux "distribution," a package of software including the Linux operating system and hundreds of programs that run on Linux. While in the Windows world it's customary to buy additional software beyond the operating system, Linux distributions package together a wide variety of free software written for the Unix platform or specifically for Linux itself. Ubuntu Studio, that I referenced above, is a repackaged version of standard Ubuntu that includes a number of specific programs for graphics and, I think, video work. You can download so-called "live-CD" versions of distributions like Ubuntu or Fedora. You can boot from the CD and try out either of these distributions without altering your current machine. I haven't used LiVES or Cinelerra hardly at all, myself. I've used LiVES a couple of times but found it slow and clunky. Cinelerra seems much faster for basic tasks. The only way to know what specific effects these programs offer would be to read the documentation at the programs' websites that I referenced above.

WMM has some basic effects such as fades to white/black, dissolve, and control brightness which can be combined to make effects such as flashing. You can also download other effects that don't come with WMM but is compatible with WMM such as invert, flicker pulsate, and other cool things if you search hard for it.

And well, although I can't say that Video editing is as easy as using Paint ( I mean, come on, how hard can PAINT be? ), Windows Movie Maker does make it simpler for the "everyday" user. If you want to take the next step, then you'll probably want to look into more specialized programs like Premiere, Vegas and etc.
