QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Jun 3 2011, 11:38 AM) should be accurate eh. they should pre-install Lion on all new macs leaving from the factory but these lion macs wont be sold at resellers yet bcuz they need to clear the snow leopard macs out 1st. so u cant buy the lion macs right after the lion launch  Wrong, i have worked in local resellers before. For the first month, you have to fill the form or they will include the cd with he laptop and you have to install it on your own.

If you buy immediately after the announcement. Most likely you will get pre-loaded 10.6 but Apple will put the upgrade installer in box and shipped with your Mac. If you buy from reseller, you then have to get it from Apple via update programme.
