....and you may see a lot of freeware and shareware becoming 99-centware instead.
Ditto artie505's comment - that is a
very interesting idea. If a now-freeware piece of software was only available through Apple for .99, it would accomplish at least two things. The freeware developer would start getting some dough and the software would be safer (i.e. free of the kind of code shortcuts that adversely affect system performance) as Apple, I assume, would not sell any that didn't meet some development standards.
