We reported earlier on a blog post entitled "Ubuntu Report Card (2009)" where the author detailed how they felt the Ubuntu experience had improved over the years. In a follow-up series of articles looking at the future, Tanner Helland has written 10 different broadly-scoped feature requests that [he] 'and many others would like to see by the time Ubuntu 10.10 rolls around'.

That doesn't happen because of any single set of libs, but rather because of static compilation and bundling any required library with the application (thus lib duplication).
You can do the same on Linux if you wish (some do that already, eg. adobe and google).
On the other hand linux's package managers allow to actually share libraries between apps instead of bundling them with every app (hence all the dependencies), something that on Windows would be just impossible.
