I didn't watch the streaming today but I've heard from couple friends that they're introducing Mac App Store.

Apparently, the main concern with this is, they're one step closer to locking down the OS (Like the iOS) to only allow software that are digitally signed by Apple, where Apple is taking 30% of the profit from the developers.

Can anyone give me a quick summary of what was said regarding the App Store? Was it implied that Apple is going to lock down the OS in the near future?
