A particular announcement, reported by ZDNet has come from Apple, from this moment,no longer provides its dealers school of manufactured products . All copies of Mac OS X package, iLife, iWork, Apple Remote Desktop and Aperture, therefore, will no longer be available for the school store.
It must be said, however, that these programs are available for some time on the Mac App Store and, perhaps to give more development applications to your virtual store, Apple has sent its dealers school this communication , including only one exception:
“Apple has confirmed that in the day today, with some exceptions, most software will not send the box to the campus resellers. This decision, therefore, is to affect products such as Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife, iWork, Aperture, and Apple Remote Desktop. We still have a limited supply of copies of each of these products in the store, which happens to be the last call for those who want a physical copy of the software, before they run out forever.
The only exceptions to the rule will be made for Logic Express and Logic Studio software, which will continue to be sold in boxed version, while all others will be available exclusively through digital copy of the Mac App Store. “
A clear sign that the Cupertino company is moving from software distributed on physical media directly to the digital-only model .
One result of this choice is that all the software for the Mac made by Apple and available on the Mac App Store are significantly cheaper (see the update to Mac OS X Lion) than their counterparts on a physical medium, since the costs have disappeared for manuals , boxes, prints, management and distribution of products through the distributed network of various resellers throughout the world, focusing especially the later distribution on a single platform digital , accessible to all Mac users a choice to imitate, or still too early? To you the comments.
