Is adware prohibited from everything in the store? It seems like every windows application I download has some sort of toolbar bundled but maybe this isn't a problem on Mac.

Why are there back buttons ("like a browser") but you can't
right hand click to get the contextual drop down?
The navigation (Featured, Top Charts, etc) are so far away from the
other controls (Back and Forward) its insanely awkward to use.

There's a lot of similarity between the latter two (rotated almost on a pivot). If Safari moved to the .app store variant, saving real estate in the top, I'd approve. Perhaps they're trying to phase in a new button layout?
The iTunes ones are smaller and closer to the edge of the window

#14Earlier quoted context omitted.
iTunes is just fine on OS X. And yes, the second style is iTunes specific, I guess to keep consistency between normal and "mini" mode.
iTunes is by far the worst Apple product in terms of software engineering
Maybe. Never had any problems with it, be it Windows (long time ago) or Mac (since 2004).

#16Aperture is US$ 79,99 in the Store, Lightroom now seems so expensive...

Why does Apple now have three different window control styles? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20635/Screenshots/r3da.png Only three? That makes very consistent interface then. Why are there back buttons ("like a browser") but you can't right hand click to get the contextual drop down? Back buttons are there, you know, to get back. Very common usage pattern. Contextual drop down? Not that common. Even Safari does not have it…
Seriously...
Only three? That makes very consistent interface then.

Contextual drop down? Not that common. Even Safari does not have it. Neither does Opera on OS X.
Jus like on every web page? Does not cause much trouble though.

#18Is this like synaptic et al.? I mean, do you get updates automatically? That would be great! Also, a central packaging tool helps avoiding multiple installations of the same software, when dependencies can be tracked and resolved. If that is what this is: cool.

One of the sections says "Since developers are constantly improving their apps, the App Store for Mac keeps track of your apps and tells you when an update is available. Update one app at a time or all of them at once, and you’ll always have the latest version of every app you own."
Doesn't sound like auto-update though.
Re: Mac App Store: Open for Business
#20Does anyone else feel that the word "app" is already branded to mean fast and cheap? Perhaps, it's just a perception that will diminish over time. I guess it sounds better than the "Mac Desktop Application Store".
