Re: Why July
I'm in the main with you on the responses, except for one small hitch:
Money should go to developers, not some protection racket for "distribution" and an easy route for other junk to get onto my machine..
Apple takes quite a hefty cut too from App Store sales (which is why some companies like Serif and the Omni Group sell both through the store and direct, with the "direct" versions having more capabilities because they do not have to follow Apple's sandbox mandate. That being said, Apple does check what gets in there, and given the volume I'm impressed with how few rogues slip through the net (but they occasionally do, which is why I still tend to check the originators when I buy, even from the App Store).
