Part of this analysis is based on the assumption that if the app store DRM gets cracked (likely), the procedure is sufficiently unpalatable that it cracking is not widespread.

There are no jailbreaking hassles with Macs, so probably all pirates will have to do is download a single app/kernel extension/whatever. And I wouldn't be surprised at all if Apple uses that as an excuse to lock down Macs in the next few years.



I don't think any of us know that until we see it in action.
