POLL: Earned a Mac App Store. What do you think about him?

A few hours ago I have earned an app store for Mac OSX. Poppy world will never be the same again. I have no doubt that with time will follow the example of Apple and Microsoft (linuksoydy upon a time enjoyed the likeness of the store).

How to install?

Apple store app comes with the system update. Therefore, you need to click on the menu bar at apple and select Software Update ( → Software Update). Mac App Store is available only for Snow Leopard under the control of computer owners. When released 10.7 Lion, an app store will be part of the operating system.

Possible problems

Official support forums inundated with angry messages about the inability of users to purchase applications or download free software. The most common two errors: hang Mac App Store and on the 100 error message. How to fix them:

1. If, during the Mac App Store application download freezes, try to force the store to complete the work. Then disconnect the external hard drives, and even sections of Bootcamp (Eject Bootcamp). They say that helps cleaning Cookies in Safari.

2. If you get an error message 100, razlogintes of the EPP-Storey, exit the application. Restart your computer, run the Mac App Store, and then log in again. Try downloading a free app. It should help.

Why do you need?

It's hard to believe, but the majority of users rarely buy apps. There are two problems which are solved by the EPP-Sided: finding and recommendation of the best programs and simplifying the purchase process.

Users to now there is no need to go for file storage and other dumps in search of applications. The best programs are presented in the App Store, where they are sorted into categories. There are ratings of popular and best-selling applications, as well as a section with recommendations Apple employees (Staff Favorites).

Buying enjoy the application is made in a single click. Those who bought the program in the analogues Softkeya will remember long sheets of various forms, which need to be filled. Here it is not.

Mac App Store also offers users a centralized channel for receiving updates. Previously it was? Smart developers used the framework Sparkle, to the program checks for new versions. Sparkle enjoyed not all, as a result, users had to subscribe to a mailing list to learn about updates. Now, as in the case of iOS-devices by going to the EPP-sided, you will immediately see the available updates.

How to delete purchased?

The Mac App Store is no such possibility, instead, you can delete the application from the Applications folder

What is missing?

So far, the developers do not have the possibility to issue promotional codes. It's sad, because many developers have decided to place the program in the Mac App Store exclusive. So that would be difficult to prepare a review and hold rallies. Lack of promotional codes so surprising that support for gift card has not disappeared anywhere - you can easily repay them.

No Trials and test versions. In some cases, the purchase of an application can turn into buying a pig in a poke (possibility to make a return like as not provided too). But in general, Mac App Store pleased. What do you think about him? We have already managed to buy something?
