Spot on with this post. Lion is, in fact, to be downloaded through the App Store.

Isn’t Mac OS X Lion’s developer beta a download, that pretty much works the way you described it?

Yeah, Linux has been downloadable for so long.. it’s a bit crazy that commercial desktop operating systems haven’t started doing it yet. It is more complicated to do from an end-user perspective, but it’s not too bad and I think a company like Apple could make it pretty easy if they cared enough.

If they gave the option on the Apple website to download the disc as a .dmg, I could just ghost it to a partition on an external drive and boot from there. It’s already possible for those out there with a little bit of brain and ingenuity… Not really for the college kiddly-winks that crap their pants over a video camera on the iPod nano. Cheers.
