Lion Launches Tomorrow On Mac App Store

[Yamcha]

Awesomness!! Finally

I think im just going to update to Lion with out a clean install. If I think something is funky is going on, then I'll make a bootable and restore from that.

Cool. I need the fresh install as I have been having one or two minor bugs in snow leopard so hopefully it will sort those out. Should be good either way though for everyone else

How is Mac OS on launch day in general? Is it safe to grab it right away? This is the first time I'm going to be experiencing a new OS launch as a Mac user so I really have no idea.. though I am skeptical given the failure that was FCPX.

I'm hearing lots of people with GM saying that it's still fairly buggy and I've got a ton of work to do so I don't want to compromise that.. any suggestions?

I have been using Lion on my two machines for a few months now, and while there were issues early on the GM has been great. I'm sure there are things to fix, but I have no major issues or things that stop me working. All my Apps have been compatible.

Do we have the date right this time?

Bought an MBP two weeks ago. Will there be a code to give new buyers free download ?

I know this is a bit off topic, but I there is something wrong with the homepage of MacRumors???

Anyways, I hope Lion will be a great OS upgrade when I actually get it....

So Apple, now Lion is out, whats next?

 

[miamialley]

What time is it available?

I have the GM and it runs ok for me, but I guess it depends what apps and how you set up and config your mac.

I'm running Skype, Filezilla, TextMate, Photoshop, Sparrow, Chrome, iTunes, Adium, Dropbox, Twitter, MagicPrefs, aLaunch and TotalFinder on a daily basis.

As long as none of those screw up I'm fine with upgrading

Seems to be sorted now, I got a "forbidden" message.

Finally, a reliable "rumour"! Looking forward to upgrading but I'm going to have to wait for a DVD to burn as I forgot to get a new flash drive. Silly me.

I'm guessing around 10am.

 

[Apple 26.2]

I am Lion - hear me roar!

 

[PJMAN2952]

Ok... so are we placing bets on what time Lion will go live? And what country will get to it first?

Place your bets now....

Definitely it is coming to America first for sure.

May God have mercy on their servers and the interwebs as a whole.

I got a good laugh from your post! You're right about the load that will occur! I'm sure extra cooling units are in order as the server requests per minute will be enormous! Here's hoping that we can get a decent transfer rate tomorrow morning!

Ya i got that message before. I guess it was because of this insanely good news for us!

 

[nick123222]

Just found out that FlightGear doesn't work on Lion.

Hopefully it will be updated.

 

[KPOM]

Awww... well now there won't be any pleasant surprise tomorrow!

Unless they come through for us with a new MacBook Air and/or Mac Mini. I'm guessing they'll wait until next week, though.

someone let this Lion out and looked what happened....

Only Lion has been mentioned. New MBAs or other hardware updates have not.

I wonder if they'll drag out the new releases to keep themselves in the tech media spotlight for longer.
