Will you install Lion the day it's available?

I'm definitely waiting a while for apps to be updated to be compatible, stuff like Sibelius 6 and jitouch, which I need for my job.
Yes, I have GM but I will probably wipe the drive for a clean install on all Macs when it is released officially. It's worth paying the additional $30 just for the all-inclusive home license alone.
O yea!! I will be installing on day 1 assuming I can get the thing downloaded. 
In fact I may play sick and take the day off to install Lion on our 3 Macs.

I probably won't for a while. I don't have any problem downloading on day 1 or possible bugs, but i don't have any pressing need to update yet. I do plan on getting the new MBA though so if it comes with lion i guess i will be upgrading.
Probably.
Depends on which week the release falls on, hopefully it won't be when I'm away.

No and only because a few 3rd party applications are way behind the times and won't run/install on a clean installation of Lion. I don't feel like spending $500 to upgrade to Lion right now.
I will upgrade on day one. I have multiple HD in my MacPro and will use one of these to load and experiment.

I will probably do like I did with Snow Leopard and wait until .1 or .2 before upgrading.
Though I'll have plenty of chances to play with it at work as we prototype Lion for our computing labs.

Probably. Not if the download says it's going to take 14 hours, then I'll wait for another day. I have never bothered to put Snow Leopard on my Macbook Air, which I load only with data from archives off another machine and otherwise create content I don't expect to preserve. So it's the perfect candidate to be a Lion's guinea pig. I'll wipe it, install and update Snow Leopard so it's all ready for Lion, then I can play around with it, free of worry about existing data.
Thanks for this thread, I have kept forgetting to get my MBA ready for its next great adventure!

I'll be going with this option too. The Mac Pro will get updated once I'm 100% sure my applications won't spaz out.
