Best computers in the world.

Look in that store and see if you can find any anti-virus software. NONE

Only b/c Apple would like you to believe there are no exploits for MOSX. Pssst, there are. Google Mac Defender or Or Zeus Kits for Mac.

Most effective malware will rely on zero-day exploits and will obfuscate their activity to avoid detection (multi-part payloads, hook onto normal processes, etc.). So your Antivirus IDEs will be oblivious to what's happening.

I haven't checked the Mac App store, but if it's anything like the Iphone app store it`ll need some proper organisation. With the many thousands of apps, it's near impossible to find anything unless you know the name of what you are looking for. Nothing is organised beyond its most basic genre. You have to trawl through page upon page and then when you do stumble upon something of interest, you have to click that link to see any info beyond price.

At best it could be described as cumbersome; there must be a better way to organise the app store to make searching/browsing less like wading through treacle...

Unlike smartphone, PC and Mac basically need not use such apps. It seems difficult for Mac App Store to reach the popularity iPhone's one has. I've never used Mac App Store.

Anyway, Apple should fix debased Flash in Mac, cooperating with Adobe. I stil need it, even though Apple hate it.

Pixelmator voted number one app of the year. Check it out if you cannot afford photoshop. Nice program.
