Thanks for the info. The bit about enterprise-specific stores is new to me, and sounds like a damn good idea.

Working with Apple and therefore being forced to go through the public store for everything creates more problems than it solves.

I've never used it myself, but iOS has enterprise distribution as well, don't they? I think it still works through iTunes on the client side.

How does apple force you to go through the public store for everything, exactly?

Bad phrasing on my part - I mean to say that I don't know of any similar way to configure a private Mac app store. I feel like the concept could be a great way to manage distribution.
