Is the mac app store going to be the only way to install apps on the mac? That'll really disappoint me.

  Not in 10.7

  Steve specifically said that it was an option for install programs. Parallel "they could in the future" arguments could be made for any Android device manufacturer or PC manufacturer, and yet people aren't afraid of buying those. Being afraid of Apple doing this is a logical fallacy.

    Thanks. I hadn't watched the keynote.

  Not in Lion 10.7. However, that could change in the future. Most likely what will happen in future versions (let's say 10.8) is apps that don't pay the apple tax will get very scary warnings about how they are potentially dangerous to the user and his computer. This is already in place where anything downloaded from the internet gets a warning the first time it is run, but this warning may get scarier. PS I think your question was a reasonable one to ask and the contingent of participants who routinely downvote reasonable questions are not being helpful.
