Well, that's reassuring, at least.
If you do by a Windows PC, it will often come with MS Works, which contains everything bar a presentation package.
Ready for someone who has no interest in the OS other than as a productivity tool.

My hardware manager tells me cpu speed, which ubuntu release did you install?
Thanks Adam

There are far far too many applications that give you system info. I'm sure you could find one that suits your needs. Just head over to sf.net or freshmeat and have a browse.
Didn't MS stop making Works a long long long long long long long time ago? I don't know, I don't really use Windows that much. There's not much stopping you from installing office software on a Ubuntu (or indeed any Linux) system. If a distro doesn't have what you want installed as default, perhaps you'd benefit from a different distro?
Since car analogies are all the rage now: assume I have a car. I don't care about the oil, the anti-freeze level, the tire pressure, the rust, the MOT, the lights not working, the amount of fuel in the tank. I just want to sit in the car and drive. Oh but wait.... Can I really drive a car then? Will I be allowed to drive a car then? Should I really be driving a car then?
Personally I don't think there's such a machine or software that is as ready for the mainstream as you would like. We all have to read the manuals at some point. We all have to learn to use some hardware or software. That's the price of being able to use a complex piece of machinery.
