In near recentness, there were some rumors surfacing regarding the possibility of huge changes to Mac OS (which I think are surely going to happen) and there was one specific rumor which caught the attention of potential developers and readers. It was the coming of a App Store for Apple’s Mac OS.

The rumor was that Macintosh would get a App Store bearing resemblance to the current App Store for the iPhone. This did shake a lot of developers because this would block developer’s freedom and all applications would have to be approved by Apple first inorder to start working on the Mac.

For developers, the rumors’s aren’t true. Guess who said it? Steve Jobs himself while replying to a mail. Lame question you think? Why would steve even bother to answer? Well, that’s pretty counterfactual. It indeed was a extremely important because it is a direct hit upon the future of Mac OS and if the rumors weren’t spilled away then it could damage the intentions of developers to keep working on Mac Apps.
