No Demos? No Big Deal: Mac App Store’s Still a Net Gain for Devs

While the latest rumors suggest that Apple may open its new Mac OS X App Store as soon as next week, controversy still abounds: Last week Apple told its developer community not to submit demos, trials, or beta software to the Mac OS X App Store for review. If you read this as a developer, this might spark outrage at Apple’s overt control of the applications it’s willing to peddle. Just more draconian rules to follow that make it more difficult for hard-working developers to make a living.
