I am not sure if Steve can answer this one (he may not know yet, or be able to tell us, haha), but maybe others have heard rumors about it.

It is great that Lion will be available as a download, and the price is awesome. Apple has to be totally commended for that. I was thinking that Snow Leopard was a one-time price deal, I really was not expecting that for Lion.

At any rate, has anyone heard what is happening for Lion for education? I am not looking here for a price break-- sure I will take one, grin, but I am not really prepared to go online with my credit card on each lab machine. Some profs will grouse if they have to kick in $30 of their own hard earned money ($100,000 only goes so far these days, haha) to upgrade their machines.

I am sure there must be some plans for distribution for education and corporate clients. Anyone know what it is?
