It lags terribly for me.. I have a core 2 duo 2.4ghz 7200 rpm hard drive and 4 gb of ram so it shouldn't be this slow..
Got a tip for us?

This is where I am, as well. One more route to find and enjoy new software is nice. Instead of locking anything down, it opens up a new possibility. I've been impressed already.
If only....
...there was a opportunity to purchase 10.6 as an upgrade from 10.5. Looks like I still have to buy a boxed, physical copy of 10.6.

...their downloading is going super-slow, which is unusual for Apple. Maybe they are loaded with purchasers.
If they lake their $200 'express' type programs $79 for download, they are essentially kicking the PC and software makers' balls. Why would someone own some jacked-down priced PC just to buy tons of jacked-up price software? Macs cost a bit up front, but the non-pro software is darn cheap.

Not Working
I have not taken the time to read the 190 comments so far on this thread. but it is not working for me.
Tells me, I have not used my apple id for itunes yet. Bull.. I have over 200 iphone/ipad apps and 960 items downloaded from itunesU. It takes me to the Enter Apple ID details. then it proceeds to tell me that I cannot use my existing mobile me email account, and if I already have one - to cancel and sign in using that. Ok I did, displays the same message that I have not used my id and takes me to the same edit details to tell me I cannot use my existing mobile me and to sign in with my mobile me.
Arg...
Will go back to browsing and try to download later, when they fix it.

Ha, install day!
First I had to install the Keynotes, Garage Band and Remote updates, then 10.6.6 showed up in "Software Updates". Update (170 MB afair) run perfectly smooth as usual on my old MBP w 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (the first one with LED backlit bought 6/2007). Short update time (less than ten minutes).
New Mac App Store works well, downloaded some free stuff. Some of the apps I own don't shop up as "installed". "Old" iTunes App Store works as well, iPhone/iPad sync okay.

Questions and comments...
1) Does "install" still have the same meaning -- just an icon (a packaged application) in the Applications folder that can be moved, if I so desire?
2) Does "uninstall" still have the same meaning -- throw icon in trash.
(Those 2 points are VERY important. If they have become more iOS like, that is a bad thing.)
3) Those complaining about needing Snow Leopard need to stop complaining. $30 for SL. If you have PPC, well then you bought your last computer in 2006. Welcome to 2011.

I'm hoping for 10.5 support soon. I wouldn't mind updating to 10.6 but been holding out.
Its like $25 to upgrade to SL...you'd be stupid if you actually thought Apple will support old operating systems when the new one is so cheap to buy...
Lets wait ... since it recognizes that it is installed it still might inform you about updates. Might be some stupid legal reason that they can't show it in the "purchased" since it was not purchased through the AppStore ... still keeping my fingers crossed for update notifications.
Do I have to fire up the AppStore to get update notifications (like it is with iOS apps on iTunes) or will it automatically check in the background?
There's a world of difference between the two applications. Aperture is a professional-level tool that allows you to manage, organize, and edit your photos with complete control and ease of use. The difference between the two programs is like night and day.

(1) and (2): YES. And it is for *all* apps installed through the AppStore, no more messy hand crafted installers that distribute stuff all over the place.
Im interested in knowing what bugs and stability problems are fixed in this update. Anyone have any info on it?
huh? I think you might be mistaken. You still get free upgrades for all the 1.xx stuff from pixelmator. Just from 2.0 on they will be moving to the app store. Even if they didn't do that, you STILL would need to pay for 2.0 as it's basically a new program, just like adobe, or any other company does when they release big updates.
From 2.0 on they will be appstore only purchases though.... the reason being they are trying to eliminate the serial numbers and piracy issues... not sure this will help, but it's a start. I'm sure it'll be just as easy.
I'm willing to bet you have to open it to show the updates. Just a guess though. Also hoping that apps bought outside the App Store update, would be much easier.
I can't download anything I get an error =/

Im getting exactly this. Im in the UK.
Anyone else experiencing this, any solutions?
Reviews and Ratings
I am a little disappointed that I can't review or rate apps I own unless I purchased them from the App Store. The App Store recognizes that I have Pages installed on my machine, but it won't let me rate it or review it. Lame.

Can you confirm iWork shows up as 'installed' for you? Odd that it doesn't for myself and others here? Wonder why?
