Not fussing about the content of the tabs themselves, but perhaps we can add 
to them a bit using alternate "mouse-hover" style text that explains each 
section in more than just "one word". This way, people can get a bit more 
context, which may improve them finding things. Not like it takes up any 
screen real estate when your mouse isn't over the tab anyway.

Some suggestions for the above:

Ubuntu - "What Ubuntu is all about"
Documentation - "Howto's, tutorials and guides"
Support - "Free and paid support options"
Community - "The driving force of Ubuntu"
Partners - "Companies sharing the Ubuntu vision"

I'm sure people could come up with better text blurbs than I have here, but it 
gets the idea across.
