Get OS X Lion now or wait?

[Krazy Bill]

Why do people get down ranked when talking positive about Lion?

Because Lion didn't come with full screen chess as promised.

Only problem (as of yesterday) with Lion is that I have to reconnect to my WiFi almost every time the computer wakes from sleep!

Yep. That's why I went back to SL. 6 weeks now and not a single wi-fi dropout.

But if I didn't have an Exchange account and Outlook, I'd still need Lion for iCloud.

MAJOR MISTAKE - Do Not Upgrade

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro - 8GB of RAM. Upgrading to Lion has been nothing but just short of a nightmare. I thought I left the PC world behind - with Lion I think I have returned to that ugly world. Since upgrade I have had to reboot on a regular basis, Finder freezes, programs inexplicably close, Fusion 4 is now freezing - need I say more. There is absolutely NOTHING compelling about LION to take the risk. I should have known better than to upgrade when I already had a good thing. Apple just dropped down to a level that is much closer to the PC world - ugh!

I had many problems with upgrading from SL to Lion with my 2011 early Macbook Pro. Poor battery, sloppy memory management, and slow as heck.

When I did a fresh install, all problems went away. I have my 7 hours back on the battery. Nice and smooth. Works like a champ. I'm staying with Lion. I would suggest a fresh install of Lion and forget the time machine restore.

Because all the cool kids prefer Snow Leopard.

Nah, just the people who use their computers to do stuff. You know. Like making money. Nothing important really.

I am 33 and make money using my computer. I can even make money with Lion.
