I'm not being rude. I'm saying it's interesting that I don't have this deadly issue eating through my life. Neither do the other Mac users I know. Interesting.

Ceej, are you a Mac user or an IT professional? Depending on patterns of use, individual users are often unaffected by some bugs - for example I know fellow Mac users who aren't affected by some of the things that bug me about Lion. However, when you work in IT (as I do) something like the AD bug can cause a serious headache across a whole infrastructure.
As long you compare the results with the same benchmark, every benchmark is valid. It has nothing todo with out-of-date.
Do you run an Active Directory environment? Do you have all of your Macs bound to AD? If not then you won't see this specific issue. This bug/issue is specific to AD.
Your statements would be like me not believing earthquakes are real simply because I have never actually experienced one. However, if you look at it logically, that's because i live in the central portion of the US hundreds of miles from the nearest fault line.
and you sir are a wind up merchant. Maybe leave the discussions to adults rather than just annoying people?
You say you're not being rude...
Yet you clearly are being rude.
And that's the last i'll be responding to you.

I did a fresh install of 10.7.1 on a spare mac pro i had this afternoon and then put 10.7.2 on it. I was able to bind it to AD and it is reliably working. (I've rebooted 3 or 4 times so far and it comes works every time. I posted more details in the Active Directory and Lion -Network accounts are unavailable thread on this same forum for those interested in what i did.

Really, Really! Do the other users you know run an Active Directory Environment? I attempted to upgrade to Lion on the 1st day it came out but because of the problems with Active Directory I couldn't ever get it to work.
I think you shouldn't assume that people aren't being truthful just because it hasn't happend to you. That's like saying you don't believe in the Hurricanes since you live in the Northern USA.
I'm with jsumner86 on this one. I help to manage 25 iMacs at my High School and we have been imaging them back to Snow Leopard because students can't login.
How do I get my contact list and calendars to push to iCloud? (from my mac)
Do i have to have the iPhone do it? (it's still downloading the update)

AD does not work in any versions of 10.7
I too have the issue where 10.7 would not bind to Active Directory, on ALL my Lion machines.
I didn't realize this at first as I let my coworker do the initial upgrades and he did just that, he "upgraded" from 10.6. This had the benefit of keeping my AD settings and current accounts intact.
It wasn't until doing a clean install on an iMac we were going to test on, that we realized it had AD issues. Installing 10.7.1 seemed to fix this and we bound the machine to AD and completed our installs. It wasn't until we tried to login with a network account we realized something was up. Yeah it didn't recognize the accounts and kept saying "Network Accounts Not Available".
We went to the upgraded machines and sure enough the same issue. They upgraded machines were just living off cached credentials. I read up on everything, realized that OSX Server wasn't even doing its job, even OSX Server only accounts were not logging in and that Lion wasn't even adding OD on the new machines. "10.7.2 fixes these" I kept reading and have been waiting.
I can now safely say 10.7.2 fixed jack squat and YES, ceej, EVERY machine. All 15 I have tried it on. I am re-imaging new systems as they come in with 10.6 and praying the issue is resolved before a new hardware release. I'm managing 250+ machines, this issue is unacceptable in an corporate environment.
So yeah, maybe, your machines "look" like they are fine. But if you know actually used them on AD or tried a clean setup, which as any technician will tell you is always best, you would realize there are directory issues all over the place.
Works great at home though lol
