Yeah, you're right... Windows' look much better
But seriously, now we'll be getting beachballs before we even log in.... Woo Hoo

I like the new login screen, but the copying thing honestly I never agree with, wether Microsoft really copied Apple or not who knows..
All I can say is I love Mac OSX Lion!! It makes Snow Leopard look ugly now
, so far been using it for a couple weeks, and can't say enough good things about it..
Although I'm disappointed about no rosetta support, there are literally a handful of applications and games I can no longer run

I mentioned it because of this and the fact that my Software Update to DP3 doesn't work either (sever additions installed).
Cupertino - start your photocopiers!
Seriously though, considering what's important for a login screen, one should not be surprised if different operating systems have similar login screens.
Yeah, let's copy something so trivial
And what exactly is that?
Two can play this game.
Mac OS X is 10 years old. Why do you think it's not there for 10 whole years? Is it hard to implement or something else?
Are windows from applications (Safari) still fading in? If they do, is there also an option to turn that off?
Sounds more like the eSATA card's drivers are the culprit here, not Finder.
Yes but those drivers are written by Apple as well.
The cards don't require extra drivers to be installed they uses the ones which comes with OS X.Not at all, it's certainly not hard to implement, after all they did implement copy/paste a while ago, and cut shouldn't really be any different.
We all know Apple think less is more, and 99% of the time I agree. But the lack of cut is one of those 1% situations where I disagree.
Cut and paste is really overrated. I can't remember the last time I wanted it for moving my files.
But yes, if they could get the terminal level implementation 10 years, back, they could easily get it to work in the Finder. I really don't think cut/paste is a big deal after all.
With rev 2, Safari in full screen going previous page was a breeze, the animation was nice (like turning a page) and before the animation was finished the page was already available, like it was stored in memory somewhere for immediate availability.
Now with rev3, going back seems to reload the page, waiting 2,3 secs before page is again available.
Is it just me?

To add to it:
My MacBook Pro running 10.7 11A44d "Server" (Server.app and Server Admin and WGM also installed) cannot find the new Lion DP3 update. See screenshot.
My Mac Pro running 10.7 11A444d "Client" (no Server.app nor Server Admin / WGM installed) just did the 11A459e update.
So, maybe they "pulled" de DP3 update for developers running the server add-ons?

Nope, I am having some Safari issues as well with the latest build. Tabs not responding etc.
It's not too big of a problem for me though.
It's not a "big deal", but I have 15 external HD's and I move files around a lot, and cut would speed up my workflow in some scenarios a bit. Certainly I can do without it but Finder is already good enough of a file browser and anything which would be add after this point would be small things like cut.
VNC Issue
Hello,
I use RealVNC from my Windows 7 machine to remotely access my Macbook Air. Beginning with this update, the keyboard input stops passing to the Macbook within a few seconds while trying to enter my credentials in the login screen.
This is only when I am currently logged into the Mac locally, which is almost always the case. If I log out of the Mac and then try to connect via VNC, it works fine.
Just a heads up.

That is your opinion. The majority of people who also use Windows as well as the few who also dig Linux distros will be used to using Cut & Paste. OS X still feels slightly alien to me due to the lack of it, and I've been using OS X since 2005.
15 External HDs? You would be a good candidate for a pretty hefty SAN (IMO). That is a lot of drives to keep track of.Posting this from Windows Server 2003.
I use windows constantly. And being honest, I have hardly used cut and paste in the last 10 years of computing I have done. Simple.
Re-read my post. I clearly said that was you opinion but not the way of the average customer who is non-techy and used to Windows. I was not in any way saying that you never use Windows. You are a power user and have no use for cut and paste. The average user (such as myself) does it seems.
It it wasn't a wanted feature, why do you think it has been requested so much?
It has nothing to do with power user vs average user and everything to do with what you are used to. Break the mold, learn news way to do things. You're switching computer OSes, you will have to change your habits.
Fear of learning something new.
Well, I am a power user but I can't understand how power user or average user discussion relates to cut/copy/paste.
Apple does respect fellow windows users but seriously, even in the past, I have never used Cut/Copy/Paste.
It's not that I was a power user from the very beginning.
Also, I haven't seen any desperate cut/paste requests. Finder is a great tool for dragging and dropping files into new directories, and applications itself. When people get use to Mac OS X, they get use to drag/drop. The mouse actions automatically flow in that way.
But whatever, I never said having a feature is bad; I just said that it is way over rated and not required.
