> The rest of your scenario doesn't worry me so much. What does worry me is if they build hooks into the OS so that signed apps distributed through the app-store have greater privileges (e.g. with respect to playing DVDs) than other apps.
They're flat out saying the opposite; that Mac App Store applications will be pretty much limited to unprivileged user stuff (the overwhelming majority of what I do).
