Snow Leopard computer
Does that include an HP computer with Snow Leopard?
Whether or not we get Lion to run on a hackintosh or on our Macs, the WORST method of distribution ever invented is automatic remote installation over the Internet. It's fine on an intranet, done by IT. However, the Internet is still too slow and too unreliable in most of the country outside of cities that installing even a 1 GB piece of software "automatically" is likely to cause problems.
I would NEVER allow Apple to install Lion remotely, especially since they won't provide a stand-alone version that I could back up. It's bad business to depend on someone else's remote servers, especially ones that are as flaky as Apple's have been for years, when local backup and remote backup at a location of my choice makes more sense for my business.
Here's a vote for having physical copies of software, especially operating systems. Apple is trying to make their hardware and software "mysterious" and "magical" instead of respecting their customers to store software and repair hardware as they choose.
