I have an early 09 mac mini and it has a nVidia graphics. I never had a problem with it till Lion. Now things are slow I think they could easily fix this with a nVidia firmware update or updated driver. It's far more than capable of doing these minor things smoothly. Of course they like to make us suffer if we aren't using the newest of the newest. I find it ridiculous that the early 09 machine isn't supported for "airdrop". Makes no sense.
Got a tip for us?

WiFi NOT fixed in Lion 10.7.1
Doesn't work for me. In 10.7 WiFi was problematic. With 10.7.1 I can't even get a password accepted! Connecting to the same Airport with another machine running 10.6.8 continues to work perfectly.
Thank goodness for the WIFI update I have about 12 Lion machines that I was about the throw out the window because of **** connectivity issues which defy logic. I was about to wipe them and go back to SL tomorrow
Hope this works

That is an effing hungry kernel task. I checked activity monitor it only shows 500MB but nothing else is running.. 1GB wired and 822MB active, 200MB inactive. Simple re-boot.
I can click outside the widgets and it seems to be working fine. Do you have the Dashboard show as a space? If you do and click the Dashboard button and trying clicking around the widgets it won't take you out of Dashboard. Maybe that's what's happening since I don't have it as a space.
Haven't noticed any gains on my MBA
I completely agree. If you load bootcamp with Windows on the same hardware, the 2010 MacMini plays 1080p video smooth as butter, as is scrolling in Safari or Firefox.
100% a driver issue and Apple need to address it. This is not good enough and they cannot regard 2010 hardware as not worth the trouble.
Exposé still useless for me
Exposé shows ONLY the active window whenever I activate it. There's no point using Exposé if it only shows me what I'm already looking at and hides everything else behind it!

Wifi - aaarggg...
I currently have 5 macs in my household...
Two white MacBooks, iPad2, and brand spanking new iMac 27" i7 and a Macbook Air. All solid connections using the latest Netgear WNDR4000 N-router except... -> the Air running Lion.
The wifi issues on this Air is driving me bonkers. It drops, it doesn't connect, it drops off again, and every now and then I get "a connection timeout has occurred."
I got so frustrated with this tonight as I was fully expecting 10.7.1 to fix this cr@p to no avail, I called Apple and began a return process on the air... Maybe tomorrow we get 10.7.2?

Neither of these bugs exist on my MacBook. iTunes shows "Exit Full Screen" in the menu while it is running full screen. I also cannot reproduce your Dashboard behaviour. I can click anywhere outside of a widget and Dashboard disappears.
I have the same router, and whilst it is an excellent three stream router, and well suited to new Apple wifi hardware, it is very new on the market and needs a firmware update or two to iron out some bugs.
I went from a WNDR3700 to the 4000 and this introduced a few sporadic issues with my iDevices. MBP has been solid though, with very fast file transfers to my WHS over wireless.
Keep an eye on this page:

If other readers are wondering which router to buy for their new Mac hardware, you cannot go wrong with this router. The Airport Extreme is also very good, but it limits which subnet you can use and does not allow you to disable DHCP. Not cool.

Whatever the size of the update is in the original post, its wrong. I downloaded the update on my MBA 13" i7 256GB 2011 model, and the update was 54MB, not 17MB.
The update fixed the bug of my MBP forgetting my keyboard backlight settings each time I either logged out and back in; or powered down/back up.
Since the update, my bettertouchtool gesture settings do not work after waking the computer or powering it on, until I open the app for bettertouchtool -- whereupon everything works.

before the update i was having no issues with wi-fi. now every time i wake my 2011 MBP from sleep, i have to turn the wi-fi off and turn it on again.
my only real issue, which is that the backlit keyboard only turns on or off manually, is still unchanged.
this was more like 10.7 - .1

Well do something like report it via the Apple Bug Reporter page (no payment required) - http://bugreport.apple.com and yes its legit.
