Mac OS X Lion is out today!

[jamie_pyrite]

So for you mac boys, the newest version of the operating system titled "Lion" was released today. Has anyone upgraded yet? If so, what do you think?

I've just installed it and so far I'm very un-impressed! Causing my system to crash and lag constantly! Had to boot into safe mode to get things stable.



So what are people's thoughts?

I had issues with the GM making my iMac slow and unresponsive so today I clean installed with the release version from the Mac App Store - the difference is night and day!

Clean install FTW.

Like any OS, wait until they've sorted the bugs before using it on a main computer.

I've got it running on my hackintosh, but leaving it off of my Mac until I trust it.

Works perfectly well on my IMac no problems at all. I do run my mac very clean as I use Mac Keeper on a regular basis. I like launchpad but is weird getting used to not using the dock.

Pay £20 & buy it from the app store, you spent a fortune buying a mac so £20 shouldn't break the bank lol prefer to put a genuine registered version On my Mac

Agreed.


Well now that it's settled down, I'm impressed! Turns out the crashing/lagging was just due to the system re-indexing everything again. Still getting my head around the new Expose, but it seems good!

Can I get it for my mac book pro and would it work better ?
