How much more intuitive than “Application->Ubuntu Software Centre” can it get?

I generally agree with you though, Windows isn’t exactly intuitive for first-time users, nor is OSX.

I wonder why he had so much difficulty getting a Linux version of Audacity. He already mentioned having found the Software Centre…

I can at least take comfort in the knowledge that I benefit from Ubuntu.

They would always mention it as an afterthought but add something like "...if you can get it to run."

I know that he's going to give a more in-depth review of Ubuntu sometime this week but first impressions matter to people scanning for reviews such as the BBC Technology website, and I also hope that there aren't any comparisons made with Windows O/S.I'd also like the BBC programme Click to dedicate sometime to reviewing Ubuntu, all the shows I've seen of Click not once has mentioned it.
