I'd swap your defaults and alternatives, but agree on this set of apps.
For the desktop "market" it's important to be able to use the same "core desktop" applications with Linux and Windows (OOo, Thunderbird, Firefox).
I agree with this, but to me the defaults should be the Linux native and optimized user experience, and the alternatives should be the "Windows migration" applications.
Red Hat/Fedora use Mozilla by default. Why Red Hat choose Mozilla over Galeon and Epiphany ? For migration propose ?
btw, Galeon and Epiphany use Gecko which is not Linux native. cross-platform does not mean "push windows touch anywhere".
Mozilla is a "Windows migration" application only if the Windows user already use Mozilla. Mozilla is a "Linux migration" application only if the Linux user already use Mozilla.
If I show Firefox to a Windows user they don't say : - great Windows application, sound like IE.
If I show Evolution to a Windows user ...
This is assuming of course basically comparable functionality; OO.org is the default since it is the only app with really suitable functionality.
