    ...all OS X users are sincerely fucked.

    iOS devices outsell OS X devices 7 times over. OS X also doesn't provide further revenue for Apple in App Sales. Today's release is market research to see what happens when an App Store is present on a desktop system. If it's at all successful, 10.7 will be the last operating system in which a user has the option to legally install their own software without going through the app store.

    Steve will present it as a future free from viruses and crashes, and 99% of the user base will nod their little domes in approval and buy it.
