- goatforce5 16y agoThe big difference being that the App Store will be preinstalled, and probably have a default place on the Dock and a permanent home under the Apple menu in the top left of the screen.
- derefr 16y agoI'm hoping, but not expecting, that the App Store will replace Software Update, so updates to Safari/iTunes/etc can show up right next to updates to your own installed apps, and OS security updates can just be treated as updates to the (non-removable) OS "app."
- goatforce5 16y agoYes, I imagine so. If you want to keep getting updates to Safari, etc., you better have the Mac App Store installed which will (coincidentally) try to get you to spend cash money while you're in there.
- jackolas 16y agoThey're going to support people who didn't install 10.6?
- siddhant 16y agoI'm wondering what happens to AppBodega, now that Apple released an App Store for Mac (which I assume would be very tightly integrated with the OS).
- jcromartie 16y agoAppBodega can continue along just the same. I think they serve very different purposes and markets, even though they are similar ideas. AppBodega is lots of indie/FOSS apps. It's more like MacPorts for applications, with purchasing.
- ericd 16y agoIndie/FOSS apps should be in heaven on the iOS store, assuming changes needed to the app are minimal.
