OSX Server hits the App Store but XCode disappears **Update: XCode back, free




In addition to Lion now being available at the App Store (had you heard?) and some new Mac Hardware, today you can also download OSX Lion Server from the App Store for an additional $49.99. Full description below…

Interestingly, Xcode has disappeared and isn’t even available by search. We’ll likely see an update to that in the semi-near future.

Update (Noon EST): Xcode is back (free).
