Apple has seeded another Mac OS X 10.6.8 seed to developers this evening. This one comes less than 4 days from the previous seed.
Apple seems to be accelerating releases, and it seems likely this will be pushed out to users before long.

Wasn't one of the highlighted changes for 10.6.8 to prepare a system to be able to upgrade to lion via the mac app store.
well this is just 1 fact that has been rumored for many months. It was a pretty big deal to hear that it is solely distributed on the Mac App Store, so most followers of MR should know. It's just surprising that someone who was so quick to diss Lion as "senseless eye candy" didn't know that.
I wasn't talking about not knowing that you had to update to 10.6.8. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if 10.6.8 isn't a requirement for Lion, it just makes the OS better prepared for it.
When in the past have we ever needed to update our previous OS before we upgrade to the new one? None that I can ever remember and I have been using Macs since 1994.
Sorry for offending you.. work on that.
Wow, from your previous "know-it-all" post I assumed you were somewhat informed. In the future, before you act like you know everything, check to make sure you know anything about anything.
Yes Lion will be distributed solely through the app store. Lion will have a very small partition (I believe about 700MB) that will allow the OS to be reinstalled for any reason. Do you think Apple wouldn't have thought this through?
