>From the appcenter wiki page: "If Linux has an Achilles heel, from the point of view of a Windows user, it's installing new software. Be prepared to enter a new world in which Windows Update is a model of simplicity by comparison, and in which you may feel as if you need a Ph.D. in physics merely to install new applications or updates. — Preston Gralla, “Living free with Linux: 2 weeks without Windows”, Computerworld" I am surprised: all the people I ever heard talking of ubuntu, including non-geeks, appreciate the simplicity of adding and removing applications. Perhaps that comment is a bit outdated even if, since the beginning of times, comparing synaptic with windows tools is a laughable joke, to say the least.
