[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1131112, member: 71075"] No it won't. Apple, as I have mentioned before, would have to be the most incompetent company in the world to lock down OS X as they have the iDevices. A significant number of smartphones depend on a store for app distribution so Apple can get away with it. They won't be able to do the same thing with OS X. On top of this, nothing precludes Apple from having the MAS and allowing people to install apps themselves. Apple also exercises a lot of clout in the mobile market space which allows them to have the App Store. You can't do the same thing to a set of machines that have nowhere near the same influence in the market. [/QUOTE]
