OS X Lion is indeed now available for download from the Australian Mac App Store (tip: wait till you’re off peak). The 3.5GB download will cost you $32, and upgrades your Mac with over 250 new features—some of which you may be just as happy without. [Mac App Store]

I just wish it would hurry up and start so i know its happening before i go to bed, i don’t care how slow it goes as long as its going.

It would be nice if they at least provided and little stat pop-up on apps showing how much/how much is done, current speed and ETA…… terrible implementation….
