Lion Good To Go – Should Ship On July 14th

OS X Lion (pictured at right), which was announced back in October, is in “Gold Master” status and is “shipping” to developers. A curious set of terms for an OS that strives so mightily to cut ties with the old disc-based model for software distribution.

9 to 5 Mac also hears that it will be available for you and me come July 14th — coincidentally, the time we expect to see new MacBook Airs come out, which were supposedly delayed to allow time for… you guessed it, Sherlock, Lion. It all makes sense! But how deep does the rabbit hole go?!
