Actually, I think it's 1.0.7. There are ways to install 1.5 quite easily 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion) and, while we're at this, 
you also have a page for the newer version of Thunderbird 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion).

There is a package for Debian in the Skype website, but it cannot be 
installed because it requires a library that has been deprecated in 
Ubuntu. You can check the following site for an easy recipe for adapting 
the Package:

<http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?p=169829&highlight=#169829>. Note 
that it's still Skype 1.2, not Skype 2.0. (Also, I have to say, I 
haven't tried it yet.)

As for the other software...

* There is of course no port of Office, but OpenOffice.org works for me.
* I don't know what Cutter is.
* I don't know what ALZip is either, though (assuming it's some sort of 
Winzip clone) all the tools are available on Linux from the command 
line, and there is also a GUI --- which I have never used.
* As for multimedia players, there are several. My favourite is mplayer.
* You shouldn't have problems with any USB device.

I found the following page a great help
