Mac OS X Lion to be Released Today (Wednesday)

Apple’s CFO Peter Oppenheimer announced during Apple’s Q3 2011 conference call that Mac OS X 10.7 Lion will be available Wednesday 20th of July.

OS X Lion include many features such as full Arabic interface, multi touch gestures, file versioning and more.

Mac OS X Lion will be available on the Mac App Store for $29.99. Lion requires Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later and a Core 2 Duo Mac or better.

Lion’s availability on the Mac App Store means instant availability for Saudi Arabia so we wouldn’t rely on authorized distributors who take a long time to import Mac OS X like they did with Snow Leopard and Leopard.

If you bought a Mac after after the 5th of June then you’re eligible for a free copy of Lion.
