Just create a new partition. I'm running both in my iMac as we speak.

I'm personally planning to hold out until Lion comes out (I've used my G5 iMac for this long, I can probably make it a few more months ) but my main reason to wait is my delusional hope that Apple will offer a higher-res, matte display option for the MPB-13, especially if enough of us send in feedback politely requesting it. That, or there's a slim chance we'll see updated MBAs by then (pure speculation). Either way I'll get a fresh Lion installation and not have to bother with updating SL. Yeah, I know 10.7.0 is likely to have some bugs, but...

I doubt apple would give higher res matte display to the 13". they have sticks too far up their asses to do something that awesome. I'm holding out for the redesign on 2012 that I'm hoping would happen. Hope they finally give it some damn respect!

Being a PC user... regardless how new lion is... certain "features" make me shake my head like the whole "resize the window from any side" feature... windows has had that since forever....

Just create a new Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partition with Disk Utility and open the Lion DMG. Then select the partition you just created as the target of installation and wait. You can then select which OS to boot into by holding alt key when booting.

Things were just done differently before. Just because things are done that way in Windows doesn't mean that they must be done that way in OS X, and vice versa.
