    Lion?

    Any of the Mac users here made the switch to Lion? If so, any issues or thoughts positive or negative?

    I like the ideas behind the new OS and use a magic mouse so the gestures part will be worthwhile, I'm thinking. The new email also looks better to me - but my analysis is based on the Apple Vids so was looking for some real world experience here.....

    I haven't switched yet, mainly as I have processes currently still running on my machines. But this morning I will try it out on my Macbook Air. All the reviews seem positive. There is some program incompatibility issues though with things such as VMware Fusion and Parrallels.

    Right - well, it'll be a cold day in hell when I want/need to run any windows stuff on my iMac so I guess that doesn't matter for me! I'll look forward to your thoughts once Lion is roaring on your Air.

    PS - Looking at one of the software programs you suggest above will have issues, the word from the vendor says otherwise (if running latest version)! .....

    PPS - And VMware is not far behind....

    loaded LION last night to my iMac, took several hours to load onto the machine and install, glad l did it overnight before l went to bed and checking on progress when l was up and about due to rain thunder noises last night in Perth.

    This morning layout not much different to Snow Leopard, 3 new buttons on bottom of screen an automatic launcher for applications, launcher for all working screens and Face to Face for Skype type talk to iPhones, iPads, iTouch and iMacs.

    Seems stable but will keep on playing with it today

    I can now make a FaceTime (Video) call from my iPhone direct to the iMac at home - or vica versa. Very cool. The full screen apps and gestures in safari between webpages is also brilliant. I also find the "reverse" scrolling intuitively right! Another winner from Apple.

    So you've been lying in bed watching the upgrade bar scroll across the screen and talking to yourself.

    It actually didn't take too long to upgrade - 20 minutes to download and maybe another 30 to install....well worth it though....Apple have really changed the way the user interfaces with the computer yet again. No doubt much will be copied (again) by windows.....

    Wd hdd

    Lion does not support some external drives. I had a 1 Tb wd ( now seagate) external FireWire drive that was a backup and my iPhoto drive.

    Would have been nice for lion to warn me that the drive would not work before the upgrade and not say a the end... By the way, thanks for your money but your external drive is no longer supported... Suck it up!!! Now im looking for someone local who has not moved from lion so I can recover my data.

    The price surprised me too. Was low $30's here and high $20's in the states. Seeing it's just a download and seeing we are at about $1.10 usd I would have though mid to low $20's would have been fair. The apple money machine rolls on...

    Other than that lion is nice. Wouldn't call it a new OS though. More of a tweak. Like snow leopard was. Wonder what OS11 will be like
