OS X Lion could be released today: now, the Apple Support Communities page is down for maintenance... for Lion release? :D

It went down because they redesigned the page. Here is the new Apple Support Community.

Yea. I have a 2007 iMac with a 2.4 Core 2 Duo, and I just ordered a 4GB RAM Upgrade kit from Crucial with $30 Saturday delivery because of Lion possibly releasing Today or next week. I want 4GB RAM when I install Lion. $80 for Ram with Sat. Delivery :eek:

thats not too bad. Plus adding RAM is the most cost efficient way of adding more speed/power to your system.
 
What they need to do is put the post it note "We'll be back up" right now and when they take it down have it say "You thought we were releasing it today, right?"

:p
 
64 bit only. You can upgrade, the installer will do all the work for you.

I have Microsoft Office 2011, Adobe CS4 suite (including Photoshop, dreamweaver, flash, etc), bryce 7 for mac, trillian 1.1.7, virus barrier express 1.1.2, firefox 5.0.1 for mac, maya 2009 32 bit, yahoo messenger 3.0.1 and skype 5.2 installed on snow lepoard 10.6.8. would those applications work seamlessly on lion without any problems?

For the most part yes as long as none of them are classic PPC apps

not sure about each specific app.. check with the vendor. But i know CS4, Office, and Firefox will work 64bit.. open activity monitor and it will tell what version each app is.

All I have on my Mac is some Apps, iWork, etc. Will this work with Lion? Never thought it would be an issue, just asking because he asked.
 
Well is a few more hours more for me to wait and see if anything happens. I will be honest though I don't really think there will be a big announcement days or a week before since they kinda said July already. Just my thoughts :D An example would be Final Cut Pro X i think.
 
If it's today then UK time it will probably be about 6pm for US store opening times. After that I'd give up for a week or so...
 
i agree today is most likely, being cupertino is 8hrs behind us here in the UK so if it was announced at 11am would be 7pm here.

personally i think it will be announced at 11am pst and available for download at 5pm pst. so 7pm here and 1am tomo morning for download

I do hope they release it like that, that way I can download it throughout the night. :p
 
The Lion GM came out on a Friday...in fact two weeks ago (7/1). So, maybe Lion also comes out on a Friday. And if it was slated to two weeks after the GM, that's today.

I'm reaching I know...but it could happen;)

Never seen this happen to me in the App Store. This just happened:

Lets relax and enjoy the next 6-7 days :D

Am I the only one who finds it slightly insensitive that Apple would say "coming in July", and now it's July 15th and we're still on the edge with no word of when it's coming?

Can you imagine if they did this with the video game industry? Telling Halo fans that the game is coming out in July, and two weeks and one day into July still no word of when Halo is coming out?

I don't like video games or Halo, but could you imagine what those fanatics would do? :mad:

They would go ape **** and kill some apple folks.
 
If it's not out by 1000 PDT, then I can't see it coming for another week due to the quarterly figures coming out on Tuesday.
 
It seems we are all trying to think of reasons why Apple would release it today so as to give ourself hope :D Can't deny i'm doing that too :rolleyes:
