Incredibly slow download right now. The Lion onslaught must be in full effect. I pulled Lion in about 15 minutes this morning. Xcode is estimated at about an hour and a half.

Glad to see it's back to free. Now I wish I didn't waste that $5...

"Waste" $5 for an toolset that could possibly make you a millionaire? Really, it's about the same price as a hammer...

Lion took me about 10 minutes to download, Xcode took about as long ...

I bought this last week... but at £2.99 I'm not going to lose any sleep. :-)

Really great of Apple to make it require Lion. Release new OS product, shove it down devs throats.

Question to mac developers: Does Apple let you in any way develop/debug/test programs for older operating systems? If I bought a newly-released-today MacBookAir with Lion, but I want to develop software that would still run on 10.6 and 10.5 - what's the official (and unofficial) ways to do that?
