Hi again mmiicc. I do appreciate your point, but indeed the design details for Software Center are subject to and informed by extensive user testing by the design team in Canonical. Here is the relevant part of the spec for the "What's New"
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#A.2BIBw-What.2BIBk-s_New.2BIB0- I noticed that the "Top Rated" section of the spec does *not* specify that only uninstalled apps should be shown, so it may well be that we should include them here. I will as the Software Center designer, Matthew Paul Thomas, for his thoughts about this. @mpt, what think? Should we be showing installed apps in "Top Rated"? If so, please just note it here and feel free to reassign this to me. Many thanks!

Later on, after restarting USC, I noticed the app I installed disappeared from “What's new” list. I was confused because I wanted to review the app. Well, I thought, probably there was a problem with the app and it was removed from USC. Tough luck. After few days I've installed another app from “What's new” list and again noticed the app is no longer there after restarting USC. This time I thought it can't be some coincidence. I've tested a little more and it looks like a bug in USC. The problem also affects apps listed in “Best rated” and “Recommended” categories.
