Description
I think that Ubuntu could benefit from having a simple "Home" version and a "Standard" version available for download. The simple version wouldn't have nearly as many options visible to the user and would be designed for a non-techie who wanted to use Ubuntu. The standard would of course be the version of Ubuntu we all know and love. The code would all be the same, but a different front end that's both simplified and Linux at the same time.

Absolutely not. That's what different distributions are for.

God no... Ubuntu isn't Windows and shouldn't be like them. We don't need a dozen different versions to confuse people. Ubuntu needs (and for the most part already has) a good solid basic install, and point people in the right direction for adding what they need, and removing what they don't.
