problem is Apple.What really changed since the olden days is that the Internet 
has become both ubiquitous and hostile.The restrictions we face with or 
in-house apps apply to all apps, and in increasingly hostile environment we 
want those in place.How can the OS know your app is truly yours and not from 
someone else masquerading as you? Signing does that.Apple makes consumer 
electronics, and everything they make is designed to connect to the 
Internet.The connected world has become a dangerous place.Primarily a consumer 
platform, we should expect consumer-level protections.If you want a developer 
platform use Linux. ;)Richard GaskinFourth World Systems
