A use SW-sites (like store.sw_company.com) for puchases when ever possible since I can't see any nessity to give Apple a third of the sum. Free stuff do I most often download from App Store. The update convenience Mac App Store gives could be made a system implementation if Apple would have wanted it, without any App Store connection what so ever. Just a few methods in a dedicated class or two in Cocoa for centralised update mechanism. Yes there are third party tools but I'm kinda old fashion doing it one by one. I agree upon the crapy feeling of Mac App Store product list one get. I can compare with software update sites I used for many years and Mac App Store doesn't bring anything to the table imho. Can it be inflation caused by App miljionare wannabes? Or just poor search filtering by Apple? I have a hard time to see how this could be beneficial for Apple since SW is and makes the system and in this case SW looks far from the reason to run to Apple Stores for to get a Mac :/ // John Stalberg_______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
