It sounds crazy I know, but I feel like OSX is getting to the point where ML may be a free upgrade from Lion. It seems like they are heading the route of iOS.

I was thinking that, too. I can't imagine it costing more than $29, but it might be a little too much to be free.
I expect it'll be free otherwise how would Internet Recovery know what you're entitled to?
They could have pre-ML macs only be able to download Lion with Internet Recovery. Then you'd have to download ML on top of that if you bought it.
Exactly! In fact that is how it would have to work. If you sell your Mac which came with Lion, the purchaser would only be entitled to Lion and not ML even if you paid for it since App Store software licenses are non-transferrable.
I'll be kind of upset if I have to pay for the update. I still want my money back for Lion..

Hoping for $9.99, probably $19.99, could be $29.99. Just my guess.
And yet no iPhones or iPads work remotely this way... Why should they be any different? At its heart, apple is a hardware company.
I expect it'll be free otherwise how would Internet Recovery know what you're entitled to? If they're moving to the iOS model, we'll see annual major releases and it'll deprecate hardware faster than before.
