I tried to look for a similar thread and couldn't find any,so...I wonder if apple servers would be ready for a smooth download of the lion release to folks like me that would be downloading it right away?, I hope apple servers don't crash😱

I don't think they'll crash. But I wouldn't expect to download Lion quickly, either. Downloads from the app store are pathetically slow (for me, it's about 1/3 the speed I get downloading large files elsewhere... including Apple's own website). Add the inevitable traffic on launch day and you could be looking at a day-long download (or worse).

I like to think so. Especially after the debacle of the MobileMe roll out a few years ago. Apple is pretty good about learning from their mistakes. Plus they may be using the new data center to power this roll out-just a guess on my part.
 
Doesn't Apple use other content delivery networks (like Akami) to distribute "download servers" geographically across the world? Other major companies do.

I don't have a clue, but it sounds un-Apple like. They seem to like doing everything they can in-house under the umbrella of Apple.
 
I am curious about this too. But I am NOT optimistic. Apple server might not be down, but it would be unbearably slow. I wish I am wrong.
