Apple Seeds OS X 10.7.2 Build 11C37 and iCloud Beta 7 to Developers

My slowdowns are everything from powering on to launching safari, opening spotlight, and anything else the system can do by default. Earlier today, spotlight decided it needed to update its index, which froze the Mac for several minutes. Nothing should have that much impact from a simple power on.

My MBP i7 & 8gb is screaming with the Lion at the wheel!!
Fresh install or upgrade?
Me TOO!
I've been experiencing low battery life issues. Hoping for an update that addresses this soon!

Slight problem: I'd have to be exposed to the rest of Android to enjoy that feature.
Are boot times improved yet?
I'm getting the feeling that Lion works a lot better on older Macs (older MBPs?) than newer ones.
I'm running an early 08 MBP, 15-inch, 2.4 GHz with 8 GB of RAM and things are great. Maybe I should stick with this machine for a while longer . . .
Installed this about an hour ago on a clean install of Lion on my Early 2011 MacBook Pro.
Seems to have fixed my jumpy scrolling issues, and the UI seems to be more responsive using the Intel HD 3000 graphics. After Spotlight finished indexing, the heat went way down and haven't heard the fans kick in at all.

Oh yes please, the stability of 10.7 leaves quite a bit to be desired.
I had a full crash recently, the whole thing just stopped working, it started with Mission Control glitching (missing top row of icons, then flat out broke with garbage displayed), then it fully went to hell. Took 2 restarts to clear things up.
Followed by a case of massive slow down with very low amount of free memory even after I have kill most of my larger programs (Xcode etc). Again, restart ...
This is beginning to feel like Win95 all over again. [1] [2]
Then there is also fullscreen glitching out occasionally ...
PS:
Other complains,
-Finder doesn't support new gestures, neither does iPhoto
-iPhoto drops out of fullscreen mode into a broken half-fullscreen mode when iPhone is connected
-When clicking on a "window" that cover the top row "icons" in Mission Control, you end up clicking the icon behind it instead.
[1]Maybe it's because I'm spoiled having used XP for over several years straight, never bothered with Vista, so same old OS with no changes but bug fixes, duh of course it's stable.
[2]Maybe I'm see something that isn't there, but these events seem to coincide with my running of MS Messager ... but still a program should not be able to crash an OS!!!
Are boot times improved yet?
God I hope! Slow on startup and slower on turning the machine off. Not as bad as my old Vista laptop but nothing like my Macpro on 6.8. I'm happy for the folks who aren't running into any trouble with Lion but I am. I can see it being nice down the road but for me it's slow, full of beachballs, and seems more gimmicky than having added any real innovation.
I was trying to make a short movie in imovie 11 and tabs would stick, beachballs left and right, and playback was jittery, etc. Worked like a charm with SL. Oh well, I'll play along and look forward to the day they fix it.
Or just add all the fixes to the 10.7.2 and release one instead of two saving 1 system restart in the process.
If 10.7.1 is skipped with all the bugs Lion currently has, Lion will be the last OS I will have purchased from Apple before going to Debian.
I don't have any issues either with Lion. I think it's a big plus over Snow Leopard.
10.7.1 Please
I for one am really looking forward to 10.7.1 or what ever you wanna call it, just want bug fixes, then I promise I have learnt my lesson and will never again be an early adopter. I really dont know what I was thinking. Honestly, to me Lion makes my 2011 MBP the most like a Windows laptop I have ever seen. Crash's, lockups, slow down, lack of response, odd actions by some apps, this is really like my Toshiba days. All I want is my MBP to be like it was. If I could I'd go back to Snow Leopard in a heart beat.
TIP - If anyone else is having lock up issue's, just a TIP, I have not used Safari and am just using Google Chrome and set it to my default and my MBP has not crashed since. So if you have some probs, it worth a go. Like I said, not a single lock up since. Still lots of other issue, but no crash.
I can wait for iCloud, but am getting impatient for bug fix's.

Update Lion Now
We really need to get OS X lion updated to the standards. People have so many issues and basic functions like Software RAID has been broken during the update?
Have a read here:
http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2011/20110723_2_OSXLion--RAID.html
I have three hard drives in a raid setup together with a SSD disk and I cannot run disk test or repair permissions on the raid!
Or are apple trying to remove the raid feature - will we be back in the 80's where we only had one harddisk with everything and were screwed when the one harddisk broke down.
I don't get it apple - you have the cash then why give us a flashy shell with broken parts inside?

Totally un-related question [sorry]
If you are in Mac Developer Program can you test iOS betas and vice-versa?

I tell ya I kinda felt that way at first. Especially about the launcher. Until I realized how much I liked it. Here's what I like. I have a zillion apps. I only use a small portion. I can keep them in the dock, but I've a bit too many and it gets kinda crowded and they're all little and such. So, in the launcher, make little categories for your apps. Video Production, Internet, Productivity, etc. and put all that on the first screen of the launcher. All the other apps I simply have on the other screens and never see them. Yes, I could do folders on the desktop or in the dock or something, but it just isn't as clean and elegant. Kinda android ugly vs. elegant simplicity of iOS.
And without a touch device I thought it was just a pain to get to the launcher. But I mapped the launcher to my mighty mouse side buttons. My middle button (ball) is the dashboard. So, without a touch device I found I loved the launch pad thing. Full screen is fun when you have a trackpad or magic mouse. I just got the mouse actually. I've had the trackpad but I left it at work since I've gotten lion so I haven't tried it with lion yet. Generally, I like the trackpad better with SL, so probably even more with Lion.
That's sort of what I've done. I took out all my apps out of the dock and organized them in LaunchPad (mapped it to F10 ... didn't like Ctrl+Down). Most of my apps from the application folder are organized in folders like I have on my iPhone (I like consistency). My dock is solely for showing running apps (indicator light not needed) and my Documents and Downloads folder. Now that I've organized LaunchPad I like it a lot more than I did.
Loads of people are having SMB issues with Lion, especially 10.7.2 which has caused many people to completely lose access to Windows shares. There's plenty of examples on Google, including a workaround but this no longer works in the 'original' 10.7.2.
Don't worry guys, I think they have a point.
Surely if Mac OS X is a subset of iOS, then we can deduce that Google Search is a subset of Android, since Google Search is 'contained within' Android. If we take this argument to it's logical conclusion then, we can infer that Google Search therefore is a subset of the internet, clearly sharing a lot of APIs between them (Hey, I'm gonna stick in technical words cause I heard them mentioned before) Since therefore the world wide web operates in the internet, we can therefore deduce that the internet is but a subset of world wide web technologicmal interconnectivity cloud-operated protocols in incremental improvements. Vis-a-via the world wide web is a subset of Android. And therefore everything on the web actually is a product of Android development strategy.
Conclusion: God Mac OS X has NO features, Tim Berners-Lee has had all these features since the early 90s. You guys are lame.

Lion is a disaster
lion crashes new 27 iMacs. You can't play video, edit or watch YouTube. Check out apple support forum if you don't believe me. iMac + lion+ video = freeze has 60 pages of responses (52736 Views, 900 Replies). *This is my first ever mac and it's more unstable than any pc I've ever had.*

Then you never had Windows ME
That was a disaster. At least Lion is useable on most Macs.Since you're new to the Mac you need to know that Apple's OS X x.0 releases are almost always buggy (almost like a late beta release and not a GM). If you want a stable system then you wait till at least x.1 or x.2. Just a heads up.
Nope. I seriously doubt it. It'll be a selling point for Lion.
You need to modify your posting to read "lion crashes MY new 27 iMac.". We're running three new 27's and they run perfectly under Lion... Including video editing. While there may be issues with some users and they machines, it is by no means universal.
