You might have been one of the concerned people who was a little sketchy of being download only because there was thought to be no way to start from bootup disks like the past. Well thats not true. Well at least according to reports. The report says you will be able to bootup from an Apple dedicated Lion server and then you would be able to restore from a Time Machine backup or do a clean install. Also it is said Apple will have Mac Pro servers so you can connect to them at your local apple retail store and it would be a mater of minutes. This will be great for people who don’t have the fastest Internet in the world like me but I will still be downloading Lion right when it comes up hopefully tomorrow. I think all these servers are really cool and this is the way the future is going to be with operating systems.

International 3rd party Mac Vendors promoting Lion
Confirming that tomorrow might be the day that Lion Apple’s newest edition to the Mac operating system is that 3rd party mac sellers are starting to advertise Lion as shown above. This does help us confirm that Lion could be released to the public tomorrow morning. This Lang with the inventory shipments we posted in other articles below, a planned overnight for some Apple employes to install and get ready for tomorrow’s release, and the fact that AppleCare support centers have been going through training to get ready for Lion points to a near release. Check out the rest of the pictures from the store below!

Apple planning an overnight Tuesday
9to5 mac has a picture(above) with the label “visual merchandising” which is basically advertising in store. So this is probably to drives having the lion demos on theme reported in an earlier post stating that Apple retail stores and AppleCare support centers were getting hard drives to install Lion. With other shipments coming in to maybe some stuff for the new macs rumored to come out alongside Lion. Maybe other packages have the macs themselves. We will find out soon what are in these mysterious boxes hopefully on Wednesday and remember we will have a full review of lion right when we can!

It seems that Lion is being installed at Apple Stores. Or will be soon. Lion of course being rumored to come out wednesday at 8:30 AM EST. This statement from MacRumors states Apple stores and AppleCare Centers are starting to install the demos on the stores computers.
“We’ve now been able to confirm that Apple Retail stores have begun receiving final copies of OS X Lion today. The installations have come on hard drive and are meant for the Apple Retail demo computers on the store floor.”
So it seems that Lion is defiantly coming. 9to5macstates that AppleCare support centers are getting Lion to install and are having trading sessions for the new operating systems.
“We’ve received word that all AppleCare reps are now receiving Lion training as well as getting their computers upgraded to Lion. The process began over the weekend and looks to be completing today.
We’ve heard numerous reports that new Store display materials have been arriving over the past week as well.”
Also new MacBooks,MacBook Airs, Mac Pros, Mac Minis, and Cinema Displays are expected to come along side Lion which is rumored for Wednesday.
Leaked images show new Cinema LED Displays, with Thunderbolt.
It seems our little friends at macrumors got to see something that apple maybe didn’t want them to as the image above can no longer be found anywhere at apple.com. The image does have LION on the screen which means the display could end up along the new rumored macbook air, and regular macbook with the release of Lion the 26th.
The image above shows a Thunderbolt MacBook pro powering 2 of the thunderbolt displays. Only the MacBook Pros and iMacs would be able to support dual screens but by the time it launches the MacBook Air, Macbook, Mac Pro, and mac Mini will be able to support dual screens.
Thanks to macrumors for the pictures and story!
