Launchpad is not for us. It's for them.

The Mac App Store … I dunno, if it works it will be great for the small to 
medium companies out there. They will make a lot more money if they don't have 
to handle their own payment processing, copy-protection, and distribution. 
That's good for everyone. They make more, we save money, and Apple just rolls 
in dough. And for freeware authors it's a no brainer if they're using XCode.

Where's the downside?

BUT, it has to take-off first.

We won't be seeing MS Office or Adobe CS5 on it.
