I don't like OS 10.7, it's not the OS for me.  I've seen it, I've read up on it...and I'm tired of Apple putting the iOS onto OSX. 
 
It's not why I got OSX. 
 
I was hoping 10.7 would be 64bit only, improved OpenCL, more flexibility with the unix commands and some other minor stuff. 
 
What did we get?  We got iOS into OSX...the very opposite of what the hardcore OSX users want.   
 
I think I might just switch over to Windows 7 and get the M11x as my next laptop. 

It was kind of inevitable this was going to happen. I was quite worried too, but to me it seems they've done alright. 
 
Mac App store - So long as you can still get apps by other means then I see no wrong
Launchpad seems mostly useless, but you can just ignore it and continue as you were. 
Full screen apps -  Also optional and can be handy sometimes so why not. 
Mission Control - Looks awesome 
 
They did say this was only a taster and it's very possible all the things you mentioned will be in there.

thats what i dont get about apple...ok, i have an ipod touch, and its awesome since i dont want a phone, just a music/internet/mini games machine, and i dont see anything better than it (zune?  haha) but a freakin 11 inch laptop with 64 gigs...64 gigs????????? my pentium 4 from 2001 had 80 fuckin gigs, and no, i dont give a shit its flash bla bla, its still just 64 gigs for a laptop??? Even tough i dont own a mac, i always liked them but...you can buy 2 full sized laptops for the price theire askin for a 13 inch laptop

...what I don't get is why they called it Lion, when it's only 10.7, you figure they'd use "Lion" for 10.9. 
 
What big cat can beat a frickin' Lion?

Hahahahahaha

The App store sounds awesome for getting programs. I can only see people getting angry if they pirate stuff, but I can't see how that would be a problem anyway. I will hopefully get my hands on 10.7 soon. Can't wait.

Wait a second.. So Apple went... Casual? You mean, like the iPhone/Pad? 
 
Apple's been super-casual for a long time.

Actually, and I know you are going to find it hard to believe, Apple "drones" are the biggest and most critical of that company then the most hardcore MS fanboy you'll meet.   "

Why don't you wait until it comes out next summer, before reviewing it...

Seems fine to me. As long as I can get apps elsewhere, which would have to be possible, I'm cool with the changes. They know their market.

" Why don't you wait until it comes out next summer, before reviewing it... "

Yeah he got it wrong. It is only an application which allows you to use it like iOS, the main interface is the same.

-liger -thunder cat -cheetah. wait wasnt that 10.1? "

I am going to wait and see what Apple has in store for Lion. The app store sounds like a great way to help small Mac developers get their stuff out there. Mission control looks like a worthwhile feature since I use spaces and expose frequently. The iOS style multitasking I am waiting to see how it turns out from a performance perspective. Apple is going to tell us more about it eventually.
