Off on a tangent:  I actually had a different reading of his answer.
The question was something like "is it true that Apple will create a
Mac version of the App Store and force all developers to go through a
submission/approval process before they can release their software?",
and his answer was "No". If you think of it this way:

if (apple.future.hasMacAppStore &&
macs.future.onlyAllowApprovedSoftwareFromAppStore):
  say "Yes"
else:
  say "No"

It only takes one of those parts to be false in order to generate a
"No". They could very well create a Mac app store, but *not* force all
installs to go via it (still allowing people to install things from
wherever) and his answer would still be true. This is, in fact, what
I'm hoping for.
