Apple to Launch OSX App store..

Damn man. I brought Aperture 3 for like just over £100 when it was first released. I guess they had to attract people somehow by slashing its price.

Me love you long time. That app store looks awsome. I bet Windows brings something like that now ha

Windows 8.

How much discount do you get in the educational store? I doubt it's cheaper than buying aperture from the app store where it's currently priced at around £45(?) if I remember right?

The full version is £60 in the Educational Store.

I realise Aperture 3 is currently cheaper in the App Store, but all Apple software is subject to heavy educational discounts when you buy in-store, or on the website.

I was wondering if this same discount is available if one is purchasing from the App Store.

Well Apple will reject:
* apps that download additional standalone code - a security risk
* apps that have kext (ie kernel drivers) - this is a security risk anyway so I agree.
* apps must use the apple store to provide updates - a bit meh, but I can see that they can replace the binary with something that then references the developer store thus cutting out apple from the money.
* apps that offes a application plugin 'store' (ie for adding functionality) via a non-apple store. (this doesn't prevent app developers from selling the plug in separately then allowing the user to drop the plugin into the purchased app - I wonder how quick that will be blocked through the t&c).

There is no exclusivity clause in the t&c although the legal contract has a second portion for charged apps..

Don't they also reject apps that don't use the Apple approved UI?

Hence why Adobe Photoshop will never make it in the store
