Thanks for the feedback. you make a good point about "Install Software" perhaps it should say "Browse Software" (we'll work on that one).
That would definitely be more accurate.
Regarding the category pages + short descriptions, we initially worked with a similar layout, but space restrictions made it unwieldy.
What about just having "Email Client", "Web Browser", or other such descriptive text next to the program name in the menu? That would make navigation more efficient, as you could skip the programs you didn't care about.
Ideally, I think it should use an interface where the user didn't have to keep clicking on drop down menus. Since they're "browsing" the software, they'll generally be going from one to the next. It seems counterintuitive to keep on making them use the dropdown menu.
Unfortunately, I'm much better at critiquing user interfaces than designing them. :)
