Aside from a few downloading issues, I really like this Mac App store. Now all we need are some more cool apps, preferably free :D

Lets hope there are plenty of great apps to add soon.

And so the race to the bottom begins.
"Hey Developers, make some cool apps and give them to me for free."

I wonder how much $ was made by Apple.
Appleinsider reports that within 9 hours, the DRM was already bypassed. Looks like many apps just look to see if it has a valid receipt, not whether the receipt belongs to that app & person. Could get a lot more money if developers took the 5-10 minutes needed to do proper receipt checking.

Not that great a number.. given the exposure it had.
Its not bad considering the small share of the desktop market Apple has.
