"With the Ubuntu Software Store, Canonical is hoping to unify all of the different package management needs into a single, unified interface. While this will not be achieved in Ubuntu 9.10, Canonical is hoping that all of the capabilities of the update-manager, Synaptic, the computer janitor application, gdebi, and other package management-related programs will be merged into Ubuntu Software Store. When this has occurred, it will be easier on the new end-user having to just deal with a single program to provide all of this functionality."

Hopefully they'll make something more like Steam which makes it really easy for developers to sell and consumers to buy software. Apt is cool and all, but isn't really optimized for selling third party commercial software, so this should be far more than another gui on top of apt.
No objections there.
But when this happens, I want to see the face of all free software lunatics
. Baby with the bathwater and all.
