I don't know about most, my choice would be an external bootable disk made
with Carbin copy Cloner or Super Duper. (spelling)
At least, that follows the sudgestion made by some that the cd/DVD rom is
going the way of the dodo.

Well,
You can do what many do now. Put in your snow leopard dvd and to a restore
from a time machine back up. I assume most have a time machine back up?

Hi Ricardo,
If as you say, the new OS gets distributed via the app store, what do you
do if your machine crash? And, yes, I've heard "mac doesn't crash ... bla
bla blah" and I don't believe in the fairy tail of computers that doesn't
crash. Discard the thumb drive idea for now, say, I buy a macbook pro,
install lion via the app store and for whatever reason, think up your own,
it crashes dead on me 2 months later. I can't boot in to the OS, and I
live in South Africa (data capping is generally applied) thus, installing
Snow Leopard and downloading Lion again would be expensive in the extreme.

Well,
The way Apple seems to be going I would think it would be available in the
Mac app store. They already have iLife and iWorks up there so, it
wouldn't be much of a stretch. At least in the U.S. and U.K. where broad
band isn't as much of a concern.

So I got a question. Do you all think that the new Mac OS will still be
shipped in a DVD or will it ship in a thumb drive? Or, like someone said,
will it be digitally distributed in the App Store? I hope it'll be the 2
above the one I just asked because the people that don't have credit
cards like me couldn't buy it unless we either get an App Store card
that'll equal how much the new OS costs or wait until they release it
with thumb drives.
