I'd like to be able to purchase hardware here too. I know it's an App store but why not sell hardware too? Would be funny to have macsales.com RAM next to Apple RAM for sale and see the price difference. Sell hardware and just call it the new apple store.
ETA: Why can't I buy a blender on here? I mean come on Apple?
ETA2: Where is the home button in the app store? Featured items is the home button?
Yes the new app store application that was just installed.
Look at what Pixelmator has done. Moved its operation to the Appstore and now no more upgrades (despite what Pixelmator promised on the website) unless you pay for the app again.
Does this new update and store allow full screen apps and pausing/switching or is that Lion?
I'm getting the same thing, over and over. Can anyone else download anything?
How is Aperture 3 so much better than iPhoto 11?

Or do you want to download more ram to your computer?
It's an APP store. Not a 'everything' store.
Isn't that the way it has always been? The Applications in your Home folder are just your locally installed apps for the use only (root->Users->[user]->Applications) but the Applications folder in the sidebar is the system applications folder for everybody (root->Applications).Whats the deal with the Application folders??
Has anyone else's now changed? My main folder [from the Home menu of Finder] has most of my applications, but the 'Application' folder from the SideBar has different applications And the App Store hasn't recognised my iWork!
Not sure what you mean by that.
It's the principle.
There's NOTHING fundamentally preventing access to an app store for 10.5, just they draw the line there.
Not sure what you mean by that.
Also curious about the multiple macs thing. I've bought my MBP with iLife 09 installed. Does this mean it will transfer over to my older iMac which still has iLife 08?
Whats the deal with the Application folders??

It was stated at the time that 10.6 was a watershed release for Mac OS. It's been time to move on for a while now, if you're not going to upgrade then you don't really have much of an argument.
And you don't really have any idea of what differences there are between 10.5 and 10.6 which prevent apps being easily back-ported.
ah, the grammar police is here ....
Did it ever come to your mind that not everyone on this forum is a native english speaker? Don't know for his case, but at least you were able to understand what he meant.
What's the difference between the normal update and the combo update? I ran the software update on my mac and it downloaded the normal update only. Seeing as how there is an 800-900mb between the two, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything important.
does anybody know why they decided to not integrate it into iTunes? Would be a one store stop for all the digital shopping needs (and iTunes should anyway be renamed since it is already more than just tunes)
Normal = You have 10.6.5 and only need what's changed between that and 10.6.6.
Combo = You have something older and need the stuff you've missed by not getting the older updates.
I agree, it's impressive. Very simple to use and I think this is going to be a big hit. Especially for Mac users.
