I think it would be great if Software had its own category and Books & Magazines were displayed alone.
This would give more attention to the new software since books suppress it now.

Software Center should be organized in a way Dash is. The Books should be one lens, the Apps - another. Later here would appear music and video with appropriate lenses.

It's not going to just stop at software and books and periodicals. Its eventually going to include other things...potentially music, support services, movies, torrents....who knows what!

Lets just skip all the iterations and jump to the end game now...sooner or later it'll be like Google Play or iTunes...but with more Ubuntu goodness.

Call me obtuse but I don't understand why BOOKS are in Software in the first place. I understand wanting to offer them to users but when I go looking for software, I'm not looking for books. When I'm looking for Books I'm not looking for software. What you have now is enforced serendipity.

In my opinion there can be two such sections:

Ubuntu Software Center
and
Ubuntu Book Center (aka library)

solutions 2,3 and 5 put toghether.
exept that instead of real separations, like in dash lens, add it as filter options (multiplechoices allowed)

So one could choose any number or all of the filters:
apps, books, magazines, music, video, free(gratis), free(libre), proprietary, paid, min. price, max price.
Plus all the already existing categories: internet, developer, games, media, video, photgraphy, etc.

My idea is that Plymouth is run directly from the off button of ubuntu, and then run the shutdown command from plymouth, automatically.
That is, Plymouth shuts down the computer.

Someone press the shut down button, that run plymouth, then plymouth run the commands to shut down the computer.

Sorry, about my english, I don't now translate very well my ideas.
