Some had speculated that Mac OS X 10.7 — whenever it arrives — would offer a Mac App Store akin to the Apple App Store for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. However, CEO Steve Jobs has shot down those rumors.

“Redmond Pie” (http://www.redmondpie.com/os-x-10.7-wont-feature-app-store-9140689/) reports that a Mac developer Fernando Valente emailed Jobs for clarification in this regard. As usual, Jobs reply was short and to the point. He simply said “nope” to the rumor.
