Word of warning just by chance my OSX hard disk was corrupted today. Luckily I had my Snow Leopard OSX disk so that I could use the disk utility to check what the problem was and attempt a repair. I had to reformat but it has made me think that keeping the disk around would be a good idea.

Not working for me at the moment (Error: 100). Anyone else the same? Edit: In Australia
I'm a bit bummed out that i have to either buy multiple copies of the upgrade, or figure out how to enable my account across my wife's machine and the other machines i have. :( I was quite liking the unrestricted installs for 30$
It's available globally. At least if I'm allowed to extrapolate from {US, UK, Sweden}.
i installed the developer preview of os-x lion some weeks ago. following are my first impressions. let me know how you think... performance: at first i thought lions performance sucks, but mdworker and kextcache processes are re-initializing spotlight right after installation which slows down the system and heats up the cpu. after two hours of fan-noise and heat the system seems to be fine and is running smoothly now…
There are new MacBook Airs too: http://www.apple.com/macbookair/ (With a currently somewhat broken webpage.) And new Mac Minis (Whose pages are also currently broken...)
"Preparing to install. Your computer will restart automaticly." Wait - what? Didn't they say update without restart? I told all my friends how cool it is - the first OS updating itself without a restart. .... "Click Restart to install Mac OS X." Okay.jpg
They never said that.

As for Lion, you can just log in with whatever account you want in the Mac App Store. That’s it. It’s not a problem. Logging out won’t disable any apps. You can download Lion as often as you want. (If you don’t want to use the Mac App Store you can just extract the installer DMG from the Lion app and use it to install Lion on all machines you own. This also saves you from having to download Lion twice.) The installer won’t phone home to verify whether you are allowed to install.
The license allows you to install Lion on any computer you own or control for personal use. I assume that includes your wife’s machine.
For business use you can install Lion on all machines a single person uses or on one machine several people use.

But physical media is still nice. Supposedly you'll be able to buy a USB install for $69 next month.
