Apple Launches OS X Lion Via Mac App Store

[SnapperUK]

UK Store

search Lion... it is there.
14 minutes until download complete...

 

[Old Muley]

Downloading as we speak, but I can't help but wonder which apps this will kill. I might have to go play a couple of rounds of GLTron while I still can.

 

[haphadon]

Still can't download in Canada. I've been trying since 8:31 EST. I don't think it's a bandwidth problem; I suspect it literally never worked at all in the Canadian store. Anyone in Canada actually successfully start a download?

Oh well, I guess I'll try again this evening.

Same problem as you, I also live in Canada

EDIT: It is now working in Canada for me!

I'm seeing it here in the UK. Searched for Lion and it's there. £20.99

 

[nizmoz]

Nice so now how do I get it free for my new laptop? LOL! I see no way to do that yet!

 

[RealMonster]

Whoop, and with that, it suddenly started working. Now when I get home, hopefully it'll be ready to go.

It's downloading now. I'm not sure where others are seeing the progress step by step but it should take 1-2 hours with my connection (hopefully).

Go to the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store.

thank you

£20.99. It is in there

Fantastic. Will be downloading when I get home later

[Seb Hughes]

I think im going to be here a while

 

[bottsjw]

39 mins to go but it does appear to be slowing down slightly. Likely because of new sessions starting up.

1hr 23min remaining

 

[rorschach]

Lion will be sold on USB thumb drives next month for $69:

It says me serial is ineligible on the Up to Date Program thing

 

[digitalhen]

My free Up To Date copy redeemed, and downloading at 50 Mbps. Will be done in a few minutes

Apple Servers *won't* get hammered - it's hosted globally on a CDN. Mine is downloading from a server 3 hops away in Hong Kong owned by the ISP I'm with.

 

[SpinDrift]

Still not on the UK App Store

Yes it is.

 

[mloffa]

So. Once it finally downloads, do we then have to install it or is it just this?

I guess for people looking for a clean install, downloading first- then installing- could give them that option. For others, it's just an added step.

 

[AtomicEdge]

Soooooooo. I have Lion DP3 on my MacBook, and I don't think I can be bothered to do a clean install (I did for Lion DP3).

Can I update Lion DP3 to the released version?

 

[Corban987]

And the Mac Mini of course too

The mini has no DVD! That sux...
