Less than 2 weeks and counting it is then, hopefully.

I'll be downloading then burning to DVD or USB and doing a fresh install which is always the best way.

you cant, you have to install SL first and download from app store, its app store only, no burning to disc etc, jesus how many times do people need to hear this!

Wrong about the burning to disc. Heres how.

Jobs said you CAN burn it to disk, but AFAIK you do still need to install SL first.

We'll see when its released, hopefully not.

I'll gladly do it as I was planning on doing a fresh install first. Even if you have to install SL first I'm sure it'll still be better to do as fresh an install as possible with a fresh install of SL.

Hopefully the new MBAs will come with Lion but I probably will just do a fresh instal anyway.

I would've thought so if the speculation is true that they'll be out same time as Lion.

I just put Lion on USB drive, booted into it, deleted the old partition and created a new one before installing Lion. So yeah, a fresh install can be done with the GM.

How did you install it onto a USB stick??

Just installed Lion GM and now mBox isn't working in Mail.app. Boo. Have sent the developers an email, see what they come back with. I hate the fact that Microsoft have no support other than pop for Hotmail on Mac.

Edit: Also System Profiler said that Trim wasn't on for my SSD.
