They clearly saying
"Go into the App Store, click "buy," it downloads locally and starts the upgrade.
No more discs. Lion will be available only in the App Store. Making it the "Easiest upgrade ever."
You can make a disk, but Apple doesn't want you to. You have to "show package contents" on the installer to extract the dmg. If you need to reinstall, the desired method is to reboot into a created recovery partition and download and install the OS from there.
I'm not sure what they expect you to do when your hard drive dies, though. Take it into Apple for service, I suppose.
So, what do people do who do not own a real Mac or a Hackintosh yet but want to build one? There will be no way to give Apple money for a legal copy of the OS. Is this the end of this site?
