This is an inconsistency problem in 12.04 beta: it is called software
updater in the cog menu, but still update manager when opened. This
should be fixed for this LTS.

Software Updater is actually the short form of Software Update
Manager or Software Update Center. In Update Manager the word
update is at the beginning, that makes it very easy to spot when one
is glancing quickly through the menu. Also I feel the word Updater is
a bit technical or raw compared to
After reading through the earlier comments I think Software Updates
will be just right, since already we have a Software Sources, the two
items side-by-side will look neat . Since Ubuntu's update manager
updates the whole stack ie. the base operating system and the top level
applications(unlike
System Updates seems best to me. That is in line with the other items
in the System -- Administration menu. For example, System Monitor,
System Testing. That said, I would advocate using Software Updater
for now if that's what has been specified in the SoftwareUpdateHandling
specification.

I'm generally in favor of Lex's idea of hiding middle-men. (For example,
today I recommended rewriting an aptdaemon error message to no longer
mention aptdaemon.) Maybe one day Ubuntu software updates will be
completely automatic, so we don't need to visibly refer to the updater
as a thing at all
I would suggest 'Software Updates' or even just 'Updates' . Sounds
better then 'Updater'. An updater is a thing (that does updates), where
as updates is the end-goal / product that the users are after - so take
out the middle man (the updater) and just point the users to the updates
themselves.
@Lex:
As I see it, if we use a noun instead of a verb, the user could think that he
will configure software updates, not install them,

A valid argument, however, when do users ever 'configure' updates? I've
been using Ubuntu for a couple of years and I've never done anything to
the updates except to install them. Does Ubuntu even have configuration
option for the updates (other then install/ do not install)?

No, there is no option to configure updates. My point is that the
'Software Updates' terminology might induce the user into thinking that
he will configure the updates, even though this isn't true.

I've never come across that view point before. I believe that naming it
'Software Updates' will bring us in line with the rest of the industry:
Windows = Windows Update
Apple = Software Update
Fedora = Software Update
Maybe we can settle on best 2 out of 3 and go with Software Update. My
I agree with Lex.
Software updater, while it is perhaps the most technically correct, just sounds
a bit odd to me, I think. I think that Software Update is the best, or
perhaps System Update.
