Description
Well I would like see better description of bundled software on Ubuntu.com. Why? Well that is where an average user would go, now if I would like to learn a bit more on lets say Safari web browser, well Apple has a good webpage for that, also on Apple's site they have it where I can search for software such as Firefox and link to downloading it.

Agreed. The wealth of packages in debian and ubuntu are a big part of what make them so special. BUT, it should absolutely not become a web-based software directory where people download apps and install like that poorly designed windows joke. Package managers are where packages should be found and managed from. Websites with info and screenshots are OK for whetting the appetites of users who haven't installed the distro yet.
