Pretty much the whole point of any Linux distribution is to package new and existing packages to meet a pre-defined set of goals. Ubuntu's goal is to approach an ease of use and feature set equivalent or surpassing to Windows/Mac OS. And they are making excellent progress in that regard.
IMHO, the only things linux lacks are good documentation and a development environment that can compete with Visual Studio. If Open Office could incorporate the latest VBA, they'd be well on their way.
