Actually, Plasma Media Center is intended as a stand-alone application and its 
development is going into this direction. >The fact that we call it Plasma 
Media Center is due to the use of the Plasma technologies to develop it. So,

Well, i think that Plasma Media Center is a good name, because also if now 
it's a standalone application,
in the future (near or far) probably it will become a workspace. And also at 
the current state it could be
used as a workspace if all you want to do is wacthing movies, playing music or 
browsing pictures.
