According to the article entitled
Apple to release Mac OS X Lion through Mac App Store - sources, Lion will be available via download rather than on DVD. The article speculates about Apple's phasing out optical disk drives but I have another question:
What happens with Disk Utility et al.? Will the need to boot from a DVD be obviated when you want to run Repair Disk, erase a drive, change a password, etc., because of fundamental changes in the utilities and/or the OS?
Thoughts?
