To be pedantic the OP queried the text on ubuntu.com - "Our office
applications, for example, are fully compatible with Microsoft Office
and have everything you need to create professional documents".  The
fact that LibreOffice does not include an equivalent of Outlook does
not invalidate the statement.  It says that the apps that LibreOffice
*does* supply are compatible.  Though as has been discussed earlier
this is not necessarily true.
