Perhaps someone should tell Apple that the way they intended the OS to be installed doesn't work
for the record, I upgraded as its intended to be done, and have no performance or crashing issues

Maybe it's not Lion

I'm curious, has this been the same for previous OS releases?
Has this been as buggy? Is it too much to ask for a .0 release?
When I first switched to mac (SL) I was intrigued with how everything just seems to work. With Lion I could not say the same.

10.7.2 is in the works.
Generall you should NEVER ever upgrade to a system which is as young as Apple's Lion. Historically every single new iteration of the system has been buggy as hell. Snow Leopard and Leopard for instance have both been nightmare in their initial iterations.

I have upgraded from Tiger -> Leopard -> Snow Leopard -> Lion
Not had a problem with upgrading any of them
i had some minor issues with earlier versions of snow leopard (for example, buggy handwriting feature for chinese characters), but everything got sorted out an update or two ago. now, i cannot think of anything i have trouble with when i use snow leopard. i am coming from windows, so there has been a learning curve, of course, but in general it just works. i loathe the prospect of purchasing lion, installing it, and ruining the enjoyment i get from using the mac.
i have not installed lion. however, reading the forums it seems exceedingly buggy and annoying. there are a lot of things in it i am excited to try (like the natural scrolling), but i don't have the patience to deal with bugs or thoughtless programming. i am waiting until the guinea pigs--you guys 🙂 -- work all of this out.
the op was right to try and come at lion from that perspective, but without evidence/reasons, it's just polishing the turd. i don't want lion to work like snow leopard. but, i want it to work.
