How do you install software and updates without a password in 12.04?

Question

Im looking for a way to remove the need of a password to install/uninstall and update software in Ubuntu 12.04?

Im trying to give some Windows users a smooth transition. They have Vista which doesnt require a password to install or update software.

Also without a password on the user account. How can i set it up to not automatically login but also not require a password to login to the user?

thanks for any help!!

Here is the answer you are probably looking for: Run apt-get without sudo

This way you have to set it for each program you want to use for installing things without specifically given root permission. e.g. for software-center it should look like this:

%usernameofaaffectedperson% ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/software-center
