Ok personally I guess I don't care, don't use Mac, don't plan to either. But it occurs to me that there's a substantial amount of overlap between the iPhone and the Mac rules of engagements: http://goo.gl/GnOX
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that, with Apple scoring 30% of the revenue, eventually - let's say 3 years - the Mac store will be the de-facto way to install and all other ways effectively deprecated. Apple are probably smart enough not to go as far as to require users to jail-break in order to get to another distribution channel, but a de-facto monopoly still has massive implications for the software ecosystem at large. It's times like this I wonder how come Apple gets away with stuff that Microsoft never could.
