I for one am not interested in having a constrained application environment on my computer. I'm glad Steve's giving us a choice with this release, but as soon as the App Store becomes the way to buy and run OS X applications, my dual boot MBP is going to turn into a full-time Linux machine.
I think the rise of Ubuntu, the tightening of the OS X ecosystem, and the rising popularity of geekery are going to converge nicely into a solid market share for open source operating systems.
Just a thought.
- d_r 16y agoYou're underestimating how much this store will help an indie developer like myself.
- djacobs 16y agoI don't think this will be a boon to developers at all, because people like me won't be buying "apps" for a desktop environment. I want to use the full power of my computer and not have limited options. Do you think people will be using iOS iWork on their desktops, for example?
