OS X Lion roars, coughs on appearance in App Store
Fanbois moan on Twitter at failure to get paws on
Ensure Ease of Recovery with Asigra’s Agentless Software
Apple has stuck the Lion operating system on its Mac App Store.
The update can be yours for just £20.99 ($29.99), although we're getting reports of problems using the site. Despite being a supposedly soft launch, it is likely that fanbois are already queuing up to grab the first major operating system upgrade.
Twitter is filling up with twats complaining about download problems. Or providing Apple with free advertising.
You need to be using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, have iTunes installed, be willing to wait for a 3.49GB download, and will need to check if your hardware is up to the job, as well.
The update page is available from the UK Apple store (US information here). ®

Skint? Really? Yet you have a mac that is modern enough to run 10.7?
Then how about selling it on eBay for some easy money? Even macs that are not capable of running 10.7 still sell for good money, because they're still useful computers.
And as for indicating that you plan to install a pirated copy of 10.7, well, if you don't want to spend £20.99 to upgrade from 10.6 to 10.7 then don't upgrade. That Is All. Apart from wondering where the extra £9.01 in your statement comes from.
