** Description changed:

  In usability testing of Ubuntu 12.04 beta, participants looking for
  installed software sometimes opened the menu next to "All Software".
  This revealed items for "Provided by Ubuntu", "Canonical Partners", "For
  Purchase", etc, which they found meaningless.
  
  Subdividing software by channel is an uncommon task, so it should be
- relegated to the "Go" menu.
- <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Menus> Once this menu is
- implemented, the "All Software" and "Installed" dropdown menus should be
- removed, leaving only the buttons behind.
+ relegated to the "Go" menu. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#go-
+ menu> Once this menu is implemented, the "All Software" and "Installed"
+ dropdown menus should be removed, leaving only the buttons behind.
