If you have some cash to spend and you're seriously looking to get into making music with a midi keyboard, some M-Audio equipment comes with a decent elementary-level DAW called Ignite. It came with my M-Audio MTrack (which is an audio interface, if you're looking to get into audio in the future, do your homework on all that jazz) and I've played around on it for fun a bunch of times. It seems like it would be really intuitive for the beginner, and it's still pretty good fun for me even though I've been at the engineering thing for a bit. That's my 2 cents.
