All the mac users can only hope not..
The fact that they have an app store is that we can see that Jobs is trying to pitch the Mac to the rest of the users as well... normal users wont be able to find apps online, they need a central location to do so.
The thing that struck me was that, why is he doing that? Isnt the "iPad" meant to do all that, and leave the Mac as trucks?

I'd say that everything that was announced about Lion was targeted at happy iPhone/iPad users who have perhaps been on the fence about buying a Mac.
"The new OS X? It works just like that iOS thing you know and love!"
"Back to the Mac" should have been "Come to the Mac".

I don't see a reason why they would disallow it at all, especially since they're launching it on 10.6.
And through their website Apple has long featured their own and independent OS X apps, this seems like a logical evolution. But not one that excludes regular power users, and savvy users, from using the PC the way they have for years.
