I don't want to polute people with more than they want to read, but Ive posted my initial feelings here: http://www.lynnfredricks.com/2010/10/21/mac-app-store-as-an-dangerous-unknow n/ The Mac App Store is a dangerous unknown. Apple doesn't have to rush eliminate other alternatives, but instead let the weight of presence in the OS and the direction of user opinion (like we saw with the Thoughts on Flash debaucle) move it step by step to an exclusive model and ownership of your customer relations. Maybe that's not the goal, but the Mac App Store is just the sort of tool you could use to accomplish that.
