Will the refurb products ship with lion?

or will there be some lag while the snow leopard stuff sold off.

I wish to buy a refurbished iMac so what are the chances the CTO guys put the new OS on after release?
thanks.

I have consistently gotten the latest OS, even just after its release, when buying a refurb from apple.

They won't have Lion unless the unit you buy originally shipped with Lion.
Apple Certified Refurbished Products

includes the operating software originally shipped with the unit and the custom software offered with that system.

i had a sneaking suspicion that would be the case.

It's only $29 and once you buy it you own it forever and can install it on as many Macs as you want; if it was priced like Windows I'd be a bit more worried

You'll get a free phrase to Lion whenever it comes out, but you'll have to do it yourself.

thanks for the advice. i was just hoping to acquire some lion install dvds as it just feels right compared to owning an ethereal app! silly i know.
