These utilities are part of KDE at least, if not part of other desktop environments.
 Email, calendar, contacts, etc., software are already integrated.  I'm sure there
are equally fine utilities in GNOME.

The question was really what can you not do on a home machine if you run Linux
instead of Windows (which would keep Linux off of the home desktop).  I'll admit to
games.  But if you focus on what you can do instead of whether or not Company X has
ported their software, I don't believe there is much else.
