Jason: We'll see what happens over time. We've definitely heard a lot of disillusionment from users who've gotten burned by the Mac App Store.

Joel Hadding, Gryzor: It really seems like Apple needs to do something one way or another. I doubt they'll shut the store down, but they need to take some sort of relatively large action. As is, the store is becoming ghettoized.

Gunther: I can't say we agree that Apple as a whole is entirely broken, though there are certainly plenty of issues to improved. As far as the Mac as a legitimate platform, however, we definitely disagree. Our direct-to-customer sales are strong, and unrestricted. There are millions of Mac users out there, even more than there were before the Mac App Store started. So long as it's possible to distribute software directly via our site, we hope to be in good shape.

Gomer: Thanks for the kind words! Tell your friends too!
