[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1785586, member: 204485"] Its significant I beleive, in that Apple does not believe that these apps are necessary IF you run your device in an ideal world where you manage your device in the way it is intended to be used. If for example you never change the default system preferences you would not be able to open any app not from the App Store or developers Apple recognises. Unfortunately this is not reality. All of the third party apps you have mentiined were originally free, designed to fill a need as perceived by the developers. There is still a strong griuop of people out there who beleive these app should be free, shareware or at the most donationware. They are not the only examples of apps from these magnanimous developers. OnyX, DiskMaker X and Handbrake just to mention a few. [/QUOTE]
