You can't "install" to the dock. It's just a place to show shortcuts. Just drag the app off of the dock and the just use spotlight to launch it. All of the app's files are stored in the applications folder.
Got a tip for us?

I'd be really interested to know WTH you're waiting for.
SL has been updated enough already. Just pay the $20 and join the party.
Existing applications
I wonder how this works for existing applications. I have not downloaded the update yet, but if I share, for example, iLife between two computer, also MS Office between three computers, and Creative Suite between three comps, will I have to pay updates/upgrades for each computer or not? One of my three computers is using separate apple ID.
It looks cool. I regret spending $200 for Aperture now, feeling a bit ripped off

Well, I guess I'm glad for everyone that's getting Aperture for $79. I just bought it at the store literally a week ago for $180. Kind of makes me sick to the stomach. Oh well, I guess I don't really need that extra $100 in my pocket anyway.
Wow, that must suck! At least you get a nice CD and box for $100! :/
Knapsack 2 looks nice, but $40?!? They're crazy. I guess I'll stick with TripIt and word.
probably the new price for AP b/c it's been out 3/4 of a year.
Fantastic price. I'd hop all over it - if I hadn't bought the upgrade last year
lolYes I misspoke. There is a shortcut in the dock. And I know how to drag it off of the dock. And I frequently use spotlight to launch apps. What I'm saying is, why do they assume I want a shortcut to a new app in the dock, when does it stop? Do they put a shortcut to every app you download in the dock?
Several folks have mentioned that the App Store has detected many of the Apple apps and listed them as already installed. I presume that means something along these lines. Definitely none of the third party apps I have that are available in the apps store are detected in this way.

It's interesting to note that the Mac App Store picks up on apps you already have. For instance I already have iFlicks and when I just saw it on the App Store the button already says "installed" But when I go to purchases it isn't there.
I wonder if all the updates for that app are now going to be handled by the App Store.
EDIT: Oops beaten to it by above poster.

I'd call Apple and b*tch about that. Maybe they'll toss you some App store credit or something, but seriously...I know it's a chance we all take when we bought something, but it's not like you knew it would be on the app store.
I'd call. you never know. Just present your case sternly and then escalate from there. Politeness does go far these days I find.
good luck!
I don't think that updates will be handled by the Appstore for apps that weren't bought from there.
Same in the UK store for me. It also didn't realise I already had Stuffit Expander

just restart the mac, worked for me
I have a retail DVD installed version of iWork 09 apps installed and the App Store does not show these apps as "Installed" like it does my iLife and other apps. Wonder what's up.
iWorks is installed in the /Applications/iWork '09/ folder.

Actually it's the going price for the PC version:

Interesting ... it shows me the applications from iLife and iWork as "installed". Does this work only for Apple products or is that something that every software manufacture can implement?
How does upgrade from applications work? Free minor upgrades are for sure build in - but if I move to the next major release, can I get the new version at a discount or is it full price for every new version?
That was my thinking. Aperture 3 for 45 quid here in the UK. Good aggressive pricing by Apple. All they need to do is apply the reasonable pricing to the iTunes store now.
