Vacation Blackout Hints at Late July Release for OS X Mountain Lion

MacRumors has now heard from several employees at a third-party firm offering technical support for Apple products that their company has imposed a vacation blackout from July 22 through 29, requiring "all hands on deck" in its desktop and portables division to support an unspecified event.
Speculation naturally turns to OS X Mountain Lion as the event in question, although some potential customers may be hoping that new iMac and/or Mac mini hardware could arrive at the same time. Apple scheduled just such a simultaneous hardware/software launch last July, introducing new MacBook Air and Mac mini models alongside OS X Lion.

Wouldn't that make sense for a new OS release? People will need tech support installing ML and dealing with any problems that go along with it...
With only a year to correct a ll of the shot t comings of Lion there is little hope left. With Apple spending so much lof it's time dumbing down the Mac OS I have my doubts of being wowed again.
Because, dammit, computers should be hard to use!
Or is really hinting the iPhone 5...

I wish. It wouldn't hurt to get that going sooner, but highly doubtful.
I'm not thinking a downloadable only OS is cause for all employees being on deck and not being able to take vacation in a very popular month for taking vacation.
Perhaps it's so they can all have a chance to tidy up the stores while all the customers are at home downloading ... ?
I have a question.
I just got my rMBP so do I get a free upgrade or would I have to pay another 20.00 for it? Forgot to ask the rep.
New to all of this. Thank you!
Free upgrade.
