(Thats a big one for me). +1 yeah, it will still ask for the password upon updating, i think that would only be nearly relevant, if it is the first update after a fresh install, or the first sync, since that one is data-intensive and might consume too many MB on a pay-by-MB mobile broadband connection. > The second thing is can we put the updates in the software center > instead? > thank you. I know its complex to implement but having a separate program with only 3 buttons is a waste. i would prefer a synthesis of these statements: Put updates into the software center, turn the popup window into an even simpler smaller alert window with brief information and unambiguous interactivity: There are *46 updates* available, among those *12 security updates*; 24.3 MB to be fetched, should i update? *[yes, update now]* *[no, check again later]* * * in general, colors should guide the users recommended interaction path like traffic lights in a street navigation case would. If the user chooses to pick yes/green/confirm, the UI widget should turn into a download progress bar with a "hide" button with icon and text on it, offering "dismiss to panel" as hint. Can do any of this for Maverick? Even if we ship the update manager but > allow updating from the software center id be happy. > +1
