It's been too long that most software has to be a web page. The new announcement from Apple today, in Dave Morin's words is "the best thing to happen to desktop software in 20 years." For all the positive growth and change brought by the web, it has also cut off many possibile motivations to develop software and ways to get it into users hands. Thank goodness developers can once again sell their work directly ratehr than selling ad space and subscriptions. The OS X App Store may have as much impact on desktop software as iPhone has had on mobile software. It’s about time! It’s been too long that most software has to be a web page.

Google led me here. Seeing if anyone else has thought the same. Seems natural to me. Why not add the AppleTV and rumored upcoming Tablet or NetBook also, as I am sure they will not have a disc drive.
