Anyone received Mountain Lion preinstalled on their rMBP?

Mine shipped Wednesday (7/25). Arrived Friday (7/27). Came with Lion installed.
Those built on 7/25 or later should have ML installed. That means those that shipped on 7/26 or 7/27 or thereabouts are where the cutoff would be. We should start seeing those OEM ML installs arrive in the next day or so.

I'd bet if you purchase on the online apple store it'd be pre-installed from this point on. Even if not, the up-to-date program seems to be fine at this point and it's really no more than an hours work.
I would take a guess saying at the 1 week point from launch anything new coming out of the online store would have it. The physical store would have to go through their old stock before this would happen and that could take a few weeks time for cMBP's IMO.
In another thread regarding whether your rMBP arrives with Lion or ML someone said to look at the wallpaper on the rMBP icon on your order page. If it shows the default ML wallpaper yours has ML installed. They also claimed that the icon's wallpaper on their order page had changed from Lion to ML. Mine was shipped on the 27th and it shows the ML wallpaper on my order page. Expecting ML on mine when it arrives Thursday.
