Apple announced Wednesday it will debut the Mac App Store, an online store through which users can purchase, download and install Mac OS X applications, within 90 days. Looking ahead further, the vendor said it will incorporate the Mac App Store in Mac OS X Lion, the eighth major release of its operating system for computers, which is scheduled to ship next summer. The Mac App Store is one of a slew of announcements, including new MacBook Airs, Apple made this week. The development raises the possibility that the industry will follow Apple’s lead.
