Apple Launches OS X Lion Via Mac App Store

Those new MacMinis look pretty tasty too 🙂 I'm going to wait for some benchmarks vs the iMac before I even think about purchasing one though.

Getting 1500k/sec on my FIOS connection. Not bad considering they are getting slammed right now.

Hope it continues like this.

Can't download. I see Lion, but when I click buy App it says "This app is temporarily unavailable" and "There was an error in the App store. Please try again later." Grr, I wanted to start the download before leaving for work :/

Bien. And I love the new MBA; buying it as we speak. Or post.

Finally! Now just wait for my iTunes Card to arrive, so i can buy it 😀

Sure... And I won't be home until Thursday! Ugh

Downloading now!

Glad I just upgraded to my 8mbit connection, 1hour 15 minutes!

Just got it and it's on the dock waiting to download but the download status isn't working so I guess the server crashed LOL

IMO, I think Apple should've thought 5x before crashing their "so-called" servers...

 

[Acevesx]

is there anyway to check the download speed from the app store?

29,99$

29,99$ out of my wallet!!

 

[blehpunk]

there isnt edu pricing on this, right? and we can install on multiple computers?

 

[rorschach]

Hooray! It's downloading at a fair clip -- looks like it'll still take another hour to finish though. Will absolutely make a copy so I don't have to download for each Mac....

Hopefully it won't break MySQL or a bunch of Ruby gems, like 10.6 did 🙂

Remember that the installer self-deletes after Lion finishes installing…so copy it before you install otherwise you'll have to re-download! 🙂

Question: If you're in the free Lion window (bought my iMac ~2 weeks ago), how do you download it without paying for it?

Also, can I download it without installing it, just yet?

not showing in uk mac app store yet but you can get to the download via apple website.

 

[bmms8]

im downloading it, but is there a time indicator of how much of the download is left, or complete? or are we stuck with the little installation bar below the icon in the dock?

Call Apple Stores and ask, you might have to pay and then they will reimburse you.

Downloading now, although download data speeds don't seem to be fantastic.
