This is how I installed the GM on my external, so I suspect it will work with the final release.

I should pick up another flash drive or two. I have my "huge" 8 GB one devoted to my Windows 7 installer image.
Then again I might be reverted to Slow Leopard.

No, it is crApple. Oh, I am sorry! Wrong forum.
I am not too excited about Lion. It is not as if it were W8. I am sorry wrong forum again!!

I'll try Lion as soon as possible.
This is most likely late.. But if you have mission critical work, DON"T install Lion. You have no idea how Lion will work on your machine and mess up your work. You should finish your work, backup your drive then install Lion.
I'm really surprised wouldn't suggest backing up his work/hard drive first. :/
There will be no DVD at the store to buy, you can only download it from the Mac App Store which you have to have Snow Leopard install to do. If they haven't changed it, you can make a backup disk of the installer and do a clean install. That is if they haven't changed it that is.

Haha yeah dude a Windows Launch Party is when a couple of guys sit around the new computer expectantly and with great anticipation, having bootlegged some cutting edge copy of Windows.. start it up, revel in their op easing speed glory.. And then "error: system has performed an illegal operation and will has been shut down."

I should add: then they cry.

You forgot same old bugs! (NVDA Timeout, USB Transaction timeouts, Timesucking Machine beachballing the whole system, Safari leaking memory etc.)
Is this going to be released on a country by country basis or simultaneously worldwide? I assumed the latter.
Also, given the current favourable exchange rate, why do Australians pay more for an electronic release? i could understand if there was some sort of packaging and shipment involved! Sounds like someone is being greedy!

Does anyone know how long it will take from registering for the up-to-date program to getting access to it in the App Store?

I've always found crApple to be quite clever. You can't really do that with the others.
I'm fairly new at this Apple stuff...so tomorrow I download Lion, burn it on a blank dvd and boot up with that dvd in the drive?
Just today I burned the GM image to a flash drive and booted the computer with it. I used the disk utility to erase the hard drive and Lion installed clean just fine.
I assume the final release will be exactly the same.
No, you just open the Mac AppStore, click on the price which will be "24.99$", wait till it's downloaded and follow the instructions.
What do you think about Lion updates? Would Apple still release combo or update like they do with previous gen OSX? Or will us have to download 4GB all over again for updates? You know once an apps on MAS or iTunes store being updated, we just have to download the apps all over again, not like we only download only the patch or something.
Will the same thing happens to Lion, as Lion can be considered as an "app" from Mac AppStore?

You download Lion and just run the installer. No disc is needed. If you want to do a "clean install" you will need to either burn the disc (which is quicker but takes more advanced skills) or hold the Option key when the computer boots up. Select the recovery partition, then use the disk utility to erase the hard drive and then continue with the install that's on the recovery partition. This method requires the OS to be downloaded again with your Apple ID, which it does completely seamlessly in the background. I mention this only in case you have a really slow/expensive connection.
