Now that 10.7.2 is out...

I love autosave tbh. I have lost way too many random text notes before because I never saved them to begin with. Now I just open text edit every morning, make some notes and quit it. No need to keep saving random notes with random names anymore.

I don't understand why a lot of people are saying the Lion is making everything like an iPad. Because of launchpad? Then don't use it. I never do. Because of gestures? I think gestures are great. If you don't like the way is scrolls with a mouse, you can change that. You don't have to use the additional gesture features if you don't want to.

I can see why people don't like the autosave, I know I don't. It takes a little getting use to.

But... to say that Lion is Apple's Vista seems a bit dramatic, in my opinion.

I don't think any of use want to remove Autosave from those that want it.

It is just some of us want control over what we save and when we save it.

I personally don't want every little change saved as a new version.

Apple should rename the OS to "OSX Lion Betta".
It seems that it has been in betta version since 10.7.0.

Spot on, even just having it ASK on opening a file would do for me, along with a "never ask again" option. The post you quoted was the first time I had seen anyone actually try to back autosave.

I read somewhere recently a piece related to SJ's passing, waxing historical something about a vision for technology that was fully customisable....

I found that ironic.

Now that I've had a few days with 10.7.2, I'm starting to see other bugs come up:

- The temperature issue (thread 1, thread 2) that I had been complaining about since the initial release of 10.7 hasn't completely gone away

- Animations have gotten choppier, I mainly see it with Exposé and opening up new windows/document/web page

- Mouse cursor jumps around

- System "hiccups"/mini-hangs. I have been experiencing issues where when I open or quit an application, it takes longer than usual at times. This also happens when I open a new window/document/web page in Finder, various applications, Safari, etc.

- When accessing new pages or clicking on links, the active Safari window will "flash/flicker" for a brief moment (go grey/blank/make the desktop appear briefly and look like it might crash) then comes back to life and gets me to where I wanted to go to.

I think they should fix the Wifi issues, on 10.7.2 I was constantly dropping wifi. If they can fix this then I will have no issues from Lion.

What they should do is update Snow Leopard with iCloud and a couple of the other performance/security goodies then admit their error and drop Lion. From reading the posts of Lion users it seems like many Macs would run better, faster and cooler on SL 10.6.9.

I don't necessarily think they should drop it (though I wouldn't mind either =)) but they really need to take a look at how they implemented most of these "features". It wouldn't hurt if they fixed all the UI inconsistencies as well. To use Steve's words, "its a bag of hurt".
