There aren't any limits for apps including OS X. That 5-computer authorization process is for music at iTunes. Nothing to do with MAS.

I think you may be pleasantly surprised with how Apple deals with non App Store software in ML. I know I was. And I'm with you on hoping for the iWork update with iCloud integration. It should be a great upgrade when it happens.
if the MBP is capable running ML OS then you can dl straight to ML .. no need for Lion..
If her computer is linked to your Apple ID, then yes, she can upgrade for free from the Mac App Store. Otherwise she'll have to pay for it separately..
You seem to be drinking the Kool-Aid. Just because Apple dresses it up as an OS upgrade doesn't really mean it should count as one. The extremely minor upgrades that are included in mountain lion should hardly make it count as a real OS upgrade. Name one (of the supposed 200) new features that are actually noteworthy. Power nap seems to be the only one that seems useful. MAYBE notifications, but hardly since Growl has been doing that for quite some time. The innovation seems to be lacking with each successive version of OSX.
And wrong about service packs not having new features (see: Mac App Store). Had it been included in the Lion rather an a Snow Leopard service pack, people would have eaten it up as one of the next great features of the next OSX.
In Australia we have a lot of store's doing iTune's gift card sale's right now so you can take a large chunk out of that $20.99 sale price!
Well...
I'm just going to wait and see if Mountain Lion breaks support for CS6. Other than that, most of my apps are good to go.

"We're thrilled with record sales of 17 million iPads in the June quarter," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO.... We are also really looking forward to the amazing new products we've got in the pipeline."
Amazing new products? We keep hearing this, it's time to show us. Enough of the Hype, that's what causes users to have unrealistic expectations.
This is a practice that sells product, but switches on too many people's OCD.
No wonder Apple receives so many returns.

As stated in this thread before it may be released in the morning at Cupertino time (California). That's in the US and I'm currently sitting in Europe, Vienna and noticing that it's ****** 4:30 AM! I shall be asleep by now. I think it'll be say 8 AM in California (west coast), 10 AM in New York (east coast), 4 PM in the UK and 5 PM in Austria/Mainland Europe.
The Apple Stores are likely to sell them. But since they'll be a bit more expensive (it was that way with Lion), you should try it with your own USB drive. Also you can recycle your USB drive after installation of Mountain Lion for say... storing your data obviously.
Anyways, good luck with that, mate.
BTW why are you installing clean? An upgrade won't touch your data and programs.
8am here (California) is 11am New York.
I recently bought a new Macbook Pro and if I use the up to date redemption code and download it on the MBP will I be able to sign into my account on my iMac in the app store and download it without having to purchase it again?
its 12:03 no ML
Well it's 6:20 AM over here and nothing has happened yet.
Good for me that I'm just heading to the office where Mountain Lion is already installed :-D
Have to wait for my own personal copy though...
Best policy. I will wait until the wee small hours here before tackling my three. I hope the features promised are worth the hassle of it all.
Wrong. I am absolutely correct that this is a big upgrade. I actually know what I am talking about here since I look beyond stuff that Apple actually advertises.
Clearly you have no idea about the tons of APIs and developer frameworks that Apple has introduced.
Why should I bother? What is important to me may not mean a damn to you. Define noteworthy - that is pretty subjective.
