Instead, next to the Featured Applications-button, a button can be added with the label Installed Applications or Installed Software. Looks incredible!

This is a problem, since it means only up-to-date apps can be removed.Can't wait for commercial games to start showing up! Each app only has one button to install, update, and remove.

It certainly looks nice, but it should be done in such a way that it used the current theme colors.Wonder if they can fix this before the release of lucid...

Job well done, and my hat is off to whomever designed it. Personally I've never used the software center very much, since it's so slow to navigate, and you can only install one application at a time. I don't know if this revamp works in the same way, but it looks great nevertheless. Looks great! Job well done, and my hat is off to whomever designed it.

In Karmic, it always opens at a size of 850x500. It's annoying as hell on a 1920x1200 desktop.Come on, the Software Centre's window size is damn small on any resolution higher than a netbook. The first screenshot you have shows you have to scroll down to look at all categories. Not good.
