Apple Launches OS X Lion Via Mac App Store

[Supernew]

liers! I didn't received any email notification...

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?

Yep, the dock icon even says "Mac OS X Lion GM Seed"

Since I bought a Macbook Pro within the last month, how do I get it for free?

No edu pricing - you can sign in to your Mac App store account and redownload to as many computers as you want for no additional charge.

I guess we have to wait until the apple Up-to-date page is updated!

 

[lilsoccakid74]

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?

you can check in the download section of the app store

 

[STC1709]

Are we able to purchase a hard copy of this?

1. Here's to waiting for 10.7.1 -- don't we remember headaches with 10.5 & 10.6?

2. Those Minis do look sweet... core i7 available... nice. Can't wait to see benchmarks.

It must be the same build as the GM seed. The Mac Appstore says I already have it installed...

 

[airwaytostation]

Can somebody please post the build

 

[mloffa]

Was at 39 minutes until complete and now I'm at 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Backlit keyboard!!

Did they remove the Superdrive from the non-server version of the Mac Mini or did I just not notice it didn't have one before? If they did thats absolutely horrible.

 

[JackieTreehorn]

Crap....I cannot buy it because I already own a newer version of the App according to the Appstore.

Look, Steve: I wanted this a bit earlier than you let me, but now you won't let me pay for it?

Doesn't seem to be working in Australia - comes up in the App Store, but when I try and purchase it says "this item is temporarily unavailable" and then gives an error.

 

[DuFFy]

Not working!!!!! Grrrr
