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.
