Pros – Agree many good features with Lion. More secure, which will matter shortly, as Macs become more popular.

Cons – seems a bit slow on a duo 2 Mac.
The biggie – the appalling way it has been released: over the Internet. While this may be the irrevocable future, it is not newbie friendly. Preparing a recovery USB stick, the Apple preferred method in their article HT4718, is not the best. A stick can be corrupted easily if one is careless/ignorant. It is not the best way to cater for losing Lion because one’s internal HD and it’s recovery have failed. Installing Lion over SL means icons shift with each boot. A clean install is not easy. Loss of Rosetta.

Lion is imitating the iOS behavior. Think it as if you are moving up and down the content with your fingers, and in the meanwhile try not to think about the scroll bars :) you can definitely change it back to the way it used to work via Settings, but I’d say give it a chance. I got adjusted to the new behavior in a few days.

Hi, Don’t you think the scrolling is counter intuitive… when you scroll down, it actually goes up and when you scroll up it goes down. Not sure if I only see this issue… maybe it could be changed by changing some settings, however this behavior was not earlier….any comments?

Didn’t know about that hold key for special characters feature! Now that I know, I lôvè it! (didn’t have to do anything to enable it, was enabled by default)

How do you activate the iOS-style hold key for alternate characters feature. I’ve tried it and get nothing. Thanks.

This is what i call a really small and nuub review. So much to learn and tweak with Lion. Desktops and gestures are everywhere. Only stucked on Exchanged server config (2003). but it’s ok.
