Hey guys.

Now that we know for sure that Lion will be making its way to the App Store tomorrow. I was thinking that instead of spending the 29 bucks. I'll pony up the 99 dollars to buy a Mac Dev Account.

My question to you is: If I am a registered Mac Dev User. Will I get the same Lion OS version that its going to be released to the app-store tomorrow for free or do I have to pay $99.00 and then $29.00 to buy Lion?

I appreciate your help.

Steve.

    I don't like posting if I don't have ALL the information necessary to help, but I will say I've read posts on other forums regarding this question, and it appears that you will need to purchase the paid version as it will differ slightly from the Gold Master version released to devs. I hope someone else can clarify this for you, but just to be safe wait a bit before making your purchase until someone can back up or negate what I've read.

    No need to buy both. Apple provide links for mac devs to download the latest retail release of their operating systems. Its all in the mac dev center. For example I can download a retail version of snow leopard 10.6.8 or server right now. Lion will be the same. Apple want their devs to be using the latest version to develop for.

    I'm about to buy a macmini, which comes with all of the .mac applications. Does this mean that I have a .Mac account, or do I still have to pay for it?
