I bought a 13" MPB from the Apple Store Glasgow yesterday - salesman advised that I would get a free upgrade to Lion when it came out. Anyone else heard this and any idea how it works. Apparently Apple will contact me but no idea how.
Got a tip for us?

It is called the Up to date program:

UK link: http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/uptodate/
You will likely have to complete something on that page once it goes live in July or if you registered your mac at the time of purchase with your email address apple may send you communication automatically.

From this Apple Press Release, Mac OS X Lion With 250 New Features Available in July From Mac App Store:
The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lions official release date to make a request.
I was lucky enough to make a purchase the last week of may
At least Lion is only $30 (US), unlike the $130 (US) that Tiger, etc. had.
