In the short term, version 2.0 of the Store will provide thousands of
software packages that are not applications, such as fonts, themes,
codecs, and screen savers.

In the long term, I am pretty sure that in twenty years, "software" will
still exist and be publicly relevant. I am much less certain that
"applications" will.
