Mac OS X Lion in Mac App Store

Hello,

Do you know if Mac OS X Lion is going to be available for download directly from the Mac App Store since I believe the developer preview is available from the Mac App Store through a redemption code. Should I save my iTunes gift cards.

Thanks

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

No one outside of Apple knows what plans they have for releasing the OS when the time comes, and they have said nothing so far.

According to the Terms of Use we are not allowed to speculate - the Terms are on the right of every page.

Lion is not an application. It is an operating system.

Actually... the Terms of Use state:

+*Speculations or rumors about unannounced products.*+

As Lion has been announced and Apple has an official page on it, I would think discussions about it are acceptable. However, apart from features, Apple has not released any detailed information (such as the option to download).

Lion is not an application. It is an operating system.

Nevertheless, the Developer Preview of Mac OS X Lion is being distributed through the Mac App Store.
