Lion upgrades. Will it be available on disk? 4Gig will eat into my data, and do I have to download three times for my three macs? Can you only get server if you have snow leopard server already or can snow leopard be upgraded to server at the same price?

?

What about cloned backup drives?  Can those drives be moved to another machine?  Filemaker 1 in 1984 through Filemaker Pro 8.5 allowed you to run the software off an external drive.  With Filemaker 9 they moved to a file scheme that required calling in and uninstalling from one cpu and installing to a new cpu.  That would have been fine if Filemaker would answer their phones.  It was a horrible experience, something Mac users would not tolerate back in the eighties.
With the Apple Store, you could avoid calling in but their system has to be online for you to make your transition.  Because Apple sells hardware, they should continue to build some costs into the hardware and continue ease of use.  Microsoft can't do that.  That is why I do not use Microsoft products except Office.
Steve,
If your three macs are similar, installing to an external firewire drive may or may not still work as a boot device.  It has been nice to be able to boot from a backup drive instead of just recover files from a backup.
