Could be worse. You might live in a country like PNG which doesn't have 
the App Store, so you can't upgrade even if you wanted to (until the 
USB-key solution ships)! Or be like me, in one country for the next few 
months, with my bank in another - you can't access the App Store that 
way, either (credit card billing address has to be the same country as 
issuing bank and as current location). I may resort to buying myself an 
iTunes gift card to get access to Lion...
