Apple opened up the App Store for the Mac this morning. I think this could be a good strategy, for Apple and their Mac customers as well as the software developers.
The difference between this and the iOS (iPhone & iPad) App Store is that software developers can still sell their apps independently, either through retail channels or directly over the web (and keep all the revenue), or they can also leverage the App Store and the added exposure it will bring (and take 70% of the revenue).
Should be interesting to watch how this develops.
