Lion Launches Tomorrow On Mac App Store

Sorry to ask this again but no one answered

If I were to download Lion and create a Time Machine backup before installing it, wouldn't that mean that if something goes wrong or I just wanna go back to Snow Leopard then I could restore to that back up and not have to download Lion again?
 
New banner is up on the Apple site

... and gone again

Yes that should work but you would have to do a complete system restore to the backup taken before you installed Lion
 
In The Netherlands the store now says:

We'll be back soon.
We are busy updating the store for you and will be back shortly.


Good news?
 
GM - The same?

Hi Guys,

Sorry to hijack the thread.. just a quick question. I have the Lion GM installed ( it is working fine apart from the poor NAS drive support - there is a fix). Anyway will downloading the retail version offer me anything more or is there no way to know? For instance will i still get software updates with the GM?

Thanks

Chris

Yes thats correct. You can just use the backup from time machine to go back to a full working version of Snow Leopard.

I recommend doing duel boot tho. Lots of software does not work with Lion yet.

That will save you from having to go back and do a Snow Leopard reinstall.

Sad thing is I drove all the way back to campus just to use the university's network and now I'm all alone waiting for Lion.
