This is completely impractical. The old documents are not kept for eating your hard disks only. You need to open them, update them, etc. from time to time. If you need a proprietary software for using your old documents, then it is easier to continue using the proprietary software to create new documents. People do not use multiple tools for the same job. They stick to the simplest one possible. You can easily make your Ubuntu look like windows GUI. There are couple of DE out there that looks like windows. For example, LVWM. Just install it and select the session on login. You'll be presented with the familiar look. -- M.
