I’m very excited about the brand new Mac App Store released yesterday, not only because I think that that the store makes finding new and unknown apps relatively easy and that it removes the “How to install apps?” barrier for new and non-computer-savvy users.
The other reason why I am intrigued by the launch is for companies and especially all IT departments worldwide. This thought was sparked by my friend Peter, as we were tweeting about the possibilities for Apple to offer an instant download of all your apps. Here is where the store could be a blessing.
One Purchase – Unlimited Computers
When seeing a few tweets this morning from Don McAllister who was wondering over if Apple imposed the same 5 device limit to application as it does in the iTunes Store, almost everyone had been agreeing to the fact that surely that would be the case.
After a little digging, Don found a text in the help files that says that you can use a purchased application on any number of computers that you have.
Sometimes I just want to leave my MacBook Pro working by itself, without falling asleep. Other times I want to lie down in my bed with me mac on the other side of it, used as a TV either watching real TV (shocker!) or podcasts.
