Hello,
And to add a little to the discussion. What are the differences between the App 
Store version and the DVD version in terms of system recovery and the like. For 
example, will the App Store version be a true and total OS, in that it will 
download to the downloads folder and be able to burn to a DVD or will it be 
some sort of a stripped down incarnation.
Of course, we will all find out what it's all about next week.
