And I think it would be disastrous for the Mac third party software market, 
forcing developers in to a race to the bottom, forcing to the lowest common 
denominator, just as the AppStore has already done.  

"50,000 games on the AppStore!"  And what percentage are any good? And how many 
of them are variations on a theme or cheap rip-offs, designed to "game" the 
system?

BTW, I can no longer submit an application update to the Mac OS X Downloads 
page. The ADC server appears to be down. Given that the page hasn't been 
updated in three weeks, and the Downloads link has gone, it's not looking good.
