The Superior Add Remove Programs Feature in Ubuntu

Wired - When it comes to finding and installing applications, the Add/Remove Programs feature in Ubuntu surpasses both Windows and Mac OS X.

Whereas Windows and Mac users usually need to comb the web for popular applications for their newly installed systems, Linux users simply turn to the package management program, which makes it easy to browse and install software without scouring Google.

Open up Install/Remove Applications and you’ll see all the available software listed in one easy-to-browse panel. Ubuntu will also inform you any time there are updates available — something that just isn’t possible on Windows or a Mac without a third-party utility. Link.
