That's good, but raises an interesting point.

If Lion is only available as a downloaded upgrade from SL, then you 
have to start with an illegal virtual SL unless you have SL server. 
This is either a backdoor way of preventing Lion server from legally 
running in a VM or installing/copying Lion other than by downloaded 
upgrade is simpler than we yet think.
