Lion Launches Tomorrow On Mac App Store

[oblivionssss]

Duel boot?

You mean like pitting Snow Leopard against Lion on boot, and then survival of the fittest? That's very, ehm, Darwin of you. 😉

Here is the wikipedia definition for you : )

I won't be an early adopter as I am leaving for work now.

Separately, if I bought a refurb recently, am I eligible for a free upgrade?

From what I can tell at the site, no. It would have to be a brand new laptop. I could be wrong though

Since the wait for Lion has turned us into sharing our internet speeds, Here is mine.

There is no way on earth i will be able to download Lion the legal way. Either I travel out of the country to download, or ..... well.!!! i dont want to be a pirate!!!!!

I wish they would sell physical media!!

it will play a sound when Apple store is back up, when its back up I would think Lion should be available at Mac AppStore.

Have a look at my screen 😛 following this thread , twitter, doing a software update and checking my work email. Of course work takes less priority 😛

Be careful with that font size. There is a limited amount of color for macrumors.com...

Online Apple Store: Down.
App Store: Up.

Now stop repeating the obvious!

My air conditioner is out of freon. So my house reeks of my s***. Sucks waiting for Lion like this.

You know what I just thought of, later on we can refer to GraphicConverter as a inside joke for the people who actually waited for lion to be released... So the next time someone says "I've waited for lion too" ask them what app was advertised right before it came out!!!! lol It's a great test to see if they are telling the truth!

Has anyone else noticed that the online store is down? 😀

thanks. I can't even access the MAS so I don't even know why I am checking this.

 

[adamfilip]

So where is it.. i wanna start downloading it now 🙂

I have been following the thread all night, I am a longer time lurker of MacRumors. I finally decided to register to express my frustration at waiting ALL night! It's not almost 6:30 AM here in Missouri.

Hurry up, Lion, I'm tired!

Christ, people actually do that? It just makes me wonder... how is it any better to get it THE SECOND it comes out than a few hours later? You wouldn't lose sleep or sanity that way, and it's the same exact product...

Guys, has anyone noticed the Apple Store is down? I bet you Lion is coming soon!

Yeah well, in my country its faster to get a Real Lion (in the jungle) than Mac OSX Lion!

I just came back from the jungle over the weekend, spotted the Real Lion in anticipation of Mac OSX Lion! haha!

I dont have to do backups of mail and stuff before i install Lion right?

I hope so, as I bought it from the App Store 2 weeks ago!

No you should be good

Can anyone confirm whether or not this will work:

1. Download Lion from App Store
2. When it's downloaded put Lion on an external HDD
3. Reinstall SL
4. When SL is reinstalled get the installer from the external HDD and then run the installer.
5. Done?

would that work?

Cheers 🙂

Because I'm ********** excited, is that a crime? I like things like midnight releases. Maybe you're just a narcoleptic freak who can't handle staying up for something exciting. You're a real fun person to be around, you know?

If you were a woman, I'd slap you.
