- swies 16y agoThanks! No firm plans on Mac right now. The Windows app ecosystem is so much more screwed up (notably toolbars) and reinstallation is much more frequent. Not to say Macs have nailed this: http://daringfireball.net/2009/09/how_should_mac_apps_be_distributed http://daringfireball.net/2009/09/how_should_mac_apps_be_dis... My average-computer-user sister didn't like using Firefox or Skype for a long time because something weird--the .dmg remounting because she dragged the apps right to the dock--happened every time she launched them.
- blehn 16y agoAgree that OSX app installations tend to be less painful than Windows. I would find it useful for setting up a fresh system, rather than hunting down the 10-20 apps I need and installing them one by one. It would also be great for when friends/family that are new to OSX ask me what applications they should get--I could bundle it up and link them.
