The interesting thing about App Stores and Code Signing is it provides vendor lock-in and maintains revenue streams. So while it has [sometimes] questionable value, its something that we are going to see a lot more of as vendors unofficially use it as a tool to further their internal agendas. Look at how many vendors are supporting Installable Web Apps. Installable Web Apps effectively turns any web server into an App Store. The answer is: Mozilla and Chrome. Jeff
