I think you missed the point. The article is highlighting the increasing inevitability that OS X will become a closed system where you will only be able to install apps and add ons through the Mac App Store.
- dpkendal 15y agoYou're suggesting that Apple would turn off the means to run apps developers depend on to work? The same developers who create apps for this 'locked-down' App Store? It may come to pass that a version of Mac OS X will ship with an option to only allow apps from the App Store. It would be a great thing to enable on less-technical-people's computers. However, making it compulsory would chase away the very users their platform depends on for success.
- wagerlabs 15y agoYou can already install XCode through the App Store. Soon, that will be compulsory.
