+1 from here also.
The fact that there has been this discussion about the meaning of the
term Software Store shows that at least some consider that it does not
convey the required meaning.  Others may say that it is obvious, but
it is patently not obvious to all.
This raises the question whether the term Add/Remove... under
Applications conveyed the required meaning.  Can anyone point to any
ambiguity here with this term?  If anyone clicked on it would they be
surprised by the result.  Would a new user coming from Windows be
confused by this?  In fact why is it necessary to change it at all?
