    I am a very infrequent user of the app store as is and we have always had freedom on the Mac platform and that just meant mostly other stores with their own embedded fee structure along with having to guess if a site and developer were trustworthy.

    So we may just end up in a situation where we have a few large trusted app stores and still have to pay them all.
