OS X 10.7 Lion launching today
 

Apple is launching the new OS X Lion today in App Store. I have been waiting for a week for it. Anyone else as excited as me? YES, since I got my Macbook Pro I have become an Apple Whore :1orglaugh

Been running it about 4 weeks. It's pretty nice. Not really an amazing evolution. Made me replace my mouse with a magic trackpad though, because Lion REALLY uses gestures well.

Yep I agree the gestures are wicked on a MacBook Pro.

Waiting on my Imac for next week when Lion comes with the system. :)

Hey Zorgman did you end up getting that refurb 27" ? Looked like a great price.

And THERE I have bought Lion and started downloading :)

Nope, some lucky person got it about an hour before me. I'm sure they will put up some more 27" imac's soon. Hopefully 2011 models. :)

Going to the Penrith Grand opening on Saturday. :thumbsup

Ah well they put those refurbs up quite often. Just a tip, I have gotten the best prices for Macs, sometimes 10 - 15% off RRP at JB HiFi.

Yep, going to start with 4GB and buy from Macfitit website. It's $209 for 16GB ram.
On the apple website it's $720 or something silly.

They have really expanded them in Lion.

They releasing hardcopy discs today as well? Time to run to frys...

Downloading Lion from the app store and ordered a new macbook air.. damn fan boy i am.

That's what I'll be doing tonight! I can't wait!

no. there are no physical versions

app store (4 g download) or nothing

but, a) cheap price b) you can install it on all the macs in your house

Oh and the scroll is inverted. You can switch it back though.

Hehe, yeah I noticed this. Tried it for an hour or so, but no....

50min left for my download :)

any idea if there's a bulk licensing with discounted price?

You can use on multiple computers with the same app store login name

or just copy the installer to a usb drive or dvd, and skip downloading it again.

Just upgraded and i already regret it course tons of stuff aint working now.

like what? You ahve lots of PPC software?

I have a question, when you click full screen for a program, how do you get it back to normal without quitting it?

VPN client does not work. Mail is buggy.

mouse or pointer to the top of the page where the menu normally would be, look in the View menu for full screen mode. With Chrome for example, it was SHIFT + CMD + F

If you hit the ESC key it will return to normal also.

no i had tried that, doesnt work

I'll probably wait a few weeks before I upgrade my 3 Macs :thumbsup

Just did my upgrade through the app store... bit of a learning curve getting used to the new touchpad directional controls, but I'm diggin it so far.

I love it...I think it's fantastic. Slightly less of a learning curve if you are accustomed to using any of the Apple iOS iDevices.

Thanks Mitch


It's pretty solid, I like the changes so far. I was expecting more integration of the Versions, but I guess different applications will start using it very soon.

Go to System Pref. and uncheck "Scroll direction: natural" and you get it like it used to be.

Kinda getting used to it... and get the logic... now switching back to other devices using reverse logic might become fun... overall good upgrade. Especially at the price point.

I downloaded and installed Lion yesterday. So far, so good. Speedwise it seems to be the same, but the new mail is pretty nice, and I can finally put the trackpad to more use now as the new gesture support is great. "Mission Control" though I find to be pretty useless but maybe I just haven't learned to take advantage of it yet.

downloading now :)

gotta love some apple

what do you guys think about the "only downloadable online" thingamajig. No more OS Boot Disks. I don't know, I always like to have hard copies around...

I'm sure you can make a copy of it to DVD once downloaded. Like a boot disk.

only issue I've encountered so far, is that my Firefox Sync stopped working. But other than that, its great. I'm even getting used to the scrolling being inverted. I get the logic behind it.

Well, Apple turned a bit around here.... I read somewhere that you can buy a Lion USB stick. When it will be for sale, i don´t know.

Source? Or gossip?

wish i had known PowerPC apps would no longer work

$65 and it wont be till Aug or Sept.
