Adobe is shutting down AIR market place

I received the following mail from Adobe regarding shutting down AIR market place.

Thank you for using Adobe AIR Marketplace. When we established Adobe AIR Marketplace three years ago, there were few distribution opportunities for AIR developers. There are now several app stores on desktops, mobile devices and tablets that service AIR developers including Apple App Store, Android Market, BlackBerry App World, Intel AppUp center, Samsung Apps, and Toshiba App Place.

After careful consideration, Adobe has decided to discontinue development and support of Adobe AIR Marketplace. We are, therefore, not accepting any new applications into Adobe AIR Marketplace. The Adobe AIR Marketplace will be shut down on August 31, 2011. We encourage you to use these newer popular app stores to distribute your applications. As before, Adobe will continue to provide the best technologies and solutions so that developers and publishers can create, distribute and monetize content.

FAQs:

My application was free and distributed to users through Adobe AIR Marketplace. Will users continue to use the application?
If users have downloaded and installed your free application, then these users can continue to use the application even after Adobe AIR Marketplace is shutdown. If users have not installed the app before August 31, 2011, users will not be able to install from the Adobe AIR Marketplace and use the application.

My application was not free and there are users who purchased my app. Will they be able to continue to use the application? 
If users have installed and paid for your application before August 31, 2011, then these users can continue to use the application even after the Adobe AIR Marketplace is shut down.

Will users be able to purchase my paid application going forward? 
After August 31, 2011, users will not be able to purchase your application through AIR Marketplace. You must find an alternative method to distribute and sell your application. One of the options is to use Intel AppUp to distribute and sell your desktop applications.
