???  Ubuntu only ships free/libre applications.  Drivers are
considered special and on a case-by-case basis.  Even if MS were to
include Office for free (as in cost, which they won't, since that's
one of their major revenue streams) Ubuntu would still ship libre
software like OpenOffice.org (Note: if hell froze over and satan
started handing out free ice cream, MS might decide to GPL Office and
then Ubuntu could ship it too ;)
