Ubuntu saw from the eyes of a Mac user

I recently ran into an old (November 2008) article wrote from a Mac user who tried Ubuntu for two days.

Despite some shortcoming the experience was quite nice. Actually, the most interesting (or even funny) thing in the perspective is the way he looks at things. For example the Add/Remove Application which he describes as:

Ubuntu has an iPhone Cydia/Installer-like application where you can find, install, automatically update or remove applications

He also considers killer features of Nautilus the possibility to re-size the individual icon size and put emblems on it.

All in all is a nice read, especially if you’re into Ubuntu or Gnome development in a way or another. So here it is:
