Does everyone else see the same thing I'm seeing? Why does Lion Show up in my Purchased Section of the Mac App Store with an "Install" button instead of "Installed" button when It is in fact installed? It's installed on all of my computers, but yet it shows up with the "Install" button.

I'm seeing that, also. I'm ignoring it for now. Will have to check around see what I can find out. But for now, just ignore it.

I suspect it's checking for the Lion installer which is gone now that you have upgraded the OS with it. This is useful behaviour but the language is confusing. If you press Install it will download the installer to your apps folder and it will appear in your Dock ready to upgrade your OS. If you copy the app to a memory stick or an external HD it's like having an Install disc...

For what? Lion has all sorts of online install/upgrade options, not to mention the super easy OS backup installer you can create anytime onto a thumb drive, and have a solid product.

But the fact is, it's not supposed to be there, and this is a bug.
