| By default, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) will only allow applications to be installed from the App Store. I guess the only question is in 10.9, will it not be allowed, or will it simply void your warranty?

I hope there will be some separate media when it comes out to do a fresh install. I installed Lion over SL, and then finally did a fresh install, and the difference was huge.
However, following the tails of Lion (a little pun), probably will be the same, only downloadable from the App Store.

If I cannot use certain Apps that are not in the App Store, I'll stick with Lion. I cannot live without Vox.

I think could be "Snow Leopard, part 2".
Apple seems to be doing the microsoft rotation of upgrades as every other OS is junk. (10.3, 10.5, 10.7) |

Hate to sound negative and I'm sure (or at least I hope) the final product will have a bunch of new stuff, but this looks like they're only interested in eliminating the different look and feel from OS X and iOS. If so, I hope it doesn't cost too much (like $20 or less).
Otherwise..."where's the beef?" |

Wrong, by default it allows Mac App Store programs and signed 3rd party apps. You can lower that to allowing any app if desired. I would expect most major software companies will partake in this free program and it won't be a problem.

Just to clarify according the article that Riamen  linked above:
I’m interested to see how developer support for Mac App Store-only features plays out. Two big ones: iCloud document storage and Notification Center. Both of these are slated only for third-party apps from the Mac App Store. Many developers, though, have been maintaining non-Mac App Store versions of their apps. If this continues, such apps are going to lose feature parity between the App Store and non-App Store versions. Apple is not taking the Mac in iOS’s “all apps must come through the App Store” direction, but they’re certainly encouraging developers to go Mac App Store-only with iCloud features that are only available to Mac App Store apps (and, thus, which have gone through the App Store approval process). |

That assumption is incorrect. You could install Apps just as you have so far. Certain iCloud features will only be available for Apps sold through the AppStore. |

Guess I won't be upgrading then.
If that's the case, F.U. Apple. I won't be buying anymore products.

It will most likley be a service pack release:
Leopard > Snow Leopard
Lion > Mountain Lion
10.9 will most likely be a full fledged release.

said by MacRumors :
One of the significant new features in OS X Mountain Lion is Gatekeeper, a new security system to help keep users from installing nefarious applications on their machines.
The new system relies not only on Mac App Store distribution as means of vetting apps, but also on a new "identified developer" program under which developers distributing their applications outside of the Mac App Store can register with Apple and receive a personalized certificate they can use to sign their applications. Apple can then use that system to track developers and disable their certificates if malicious activity is detected.
Located in the General tab of the Security & Privacy preference pane is a setting called “Allow applications downloaded from,” with three options:
Anywhere: This choice uses the same set of rules as every previous version of Mac OS X. If an app isn’t known malware and you approve it, it opens.
Mac App Store: When this choice is selected, any apps not downloaded from the Mac App Store will be rejected when you try to launch them.
Mac App Store and identified developers: This is the new default setting in Mountain Lion. In addition to Mac App Store apps, it also allows any third-party apps that have been signed by an identified developer to run.
If anyone didn't see this coming, they're deluded... Apple will eventually have sole control of your desktop as well.
They're just inching along, instead of just fully disallowing outside apps.

What determine whether or not Apple will accept an "identified developer"? If a piece of software, like one based on WINE, would Apple be eager? Likely not.
