Yeah, I guess adobe haven't had access to lion for the last year to get their asses into gear. For the record cs5.5 design premium. No issues.
Eh. People will just get angry and tell him to Google it. Not understanding that this is the original source of the information Google ultimately provides, and if they had it their way, the only results you'd get on Google were people angrily being told to Google it.
Which I won't do since my "broadband" tops out at a whopping .5 Mbps. That's something like 6 hours/gigabyte.
Good thing I don't have dialup, huh?
There was a report on the news last night about a DOE study of "poor" people. A high percentage of them have computers, cable TV, high speed internet, high def big screens, etc.
Just like the homeless and walfare sitters that rack up more smart/cellphone minutes in a month than I have in my lifetime. The world is a terrible place.
If the people I encounter at work had those things at home, what are they doing at my place of employment? Besides the free air conditioning.
How is it legitamate - not in my books, its still stolen. Stop justifying yourself. If Apple did this, or if Apple did that then I would buy it.
Its $30, go buy it. If it was microsft you would be paying $200, Apple does the right thing and charges a fair price for a new OS that is easy to get online through the app and you still steal it!!!!
Another point - your willing to lose a user experience, time etc to steal a copy of Lion that may be bad, may destroy your data, and then provide reviews and feedback that could be potentially take away from the overall experience. I hope you waste your time doing this as $30 is approximately an hours worth of time. Its people like you that make Microsoft put all that crappy code checking in software and I don't want that in OSX ever.
Should I download this?
Honest question here. I am 100% happy with my 2011 macbook pro and with Snow Leopard. I do every day browsing mainly, and then Aperture 3 and Apple Logic on occasion. Is there any reason whatsoever to go through the headache of upgrading? Is this simply just a facelift that looks more like iOS, or are there legitimate reasons I should be upgrading when I'm already happy?
Thanks

The license says that for private use, you pay once and you can install it on any Macintosh running Snow Leopard that you own and control. Officially you have to download it on each of those machines, but you can find instructions how to avoid that.
The real value of Snow Leopard, and now of Lion, is deep hidden inside. There was lots of stuff in Snow Leopard that makes life easier for software developers; there is more of that in Lion, and in addition Lion has very important security features. Developers can use these features when users have the operating system installed. With the price of $29 both for Snow Leopard and for Lion, I assume that adoption will be quick, and that anyone not paying for the new OS will not be paying for new software, so software developers need not care about these people. In about November the Mac Apple Store will only accept new software that supports the Lion security features. So if you don't upgrade, you will be left behind quite soon.

Even the trolls cant stop Apple
Apple is still making money, HAND OVER FIST. Selling a great product at a great price.

There are legitimate upgrades here, both in UI (Mail) and in security (the OS and Safari). But if you are perfectly happy with SL, you can stick with that. No one ever has to upgrade if they don't want to.
For most people it's not much of a headache. I had it for about an hour and it seemed pretty fresh and exciting after going so many years on two very similar versions.
Lion is only a problem for the very few poor people who rely on a couple obscure, poorly supported, but dealbreaking pieces of software that don't work. Like me
Hmm, ok. If it doesn't have any problems with Aperture 3 or Logic (which I'm assuming since they are apple softwares it won't!) then I might get gutsy and go for it. Does anyone know how it interacts with the Magicprefs app? I use that app to improve the scrolling speed of my Magic Mouse and add more gestures. Does the new OS improve the magic mouse or will I still need magic prefs?
Thanks for the help

I have been using Leopard since it was introduced. I am typing this on a Leopard machine right now and I haven't thought that there was anything wrong with it. I assume that you are referring to 10.5? That is what is still on my desktop. I did purchase a new laptop and I got it yesterday. It is the low-end MacBook Pro 13" and so far I am really liking it. I am going to wait until Lion gets old enough to hike his leg when he pees before I install Lion. Unless I just get really bored and jump the gun. I do have some good news for users of Pages. I feel quite confident that Pages, the 2011 version will be introduced any day now because I did purchase the '09 version late last night
Classify me as "poorer than poor."
Other than a computer, I don't have any those things you mentioned; no cable, low speed internet, 40" TV (not exactly big.). I'll be waiting in line for an over priced thumb drive with Lion 10.7.1 on it. Never bet on a first release.
With all due respect, if $30 is a lot on money, Apple's not the appropriate platform for you, and if it's just barely too much, then you should wait and save instead of just taking. I can't afford to eat a steak dinner tonight. That doesn't mean I expect the nearest restaurant to just give it to me, nor do I deserve to eat it for no reason.
cats, not dogs
Dogs raise their legs, cats squat or just spray.

I'd start with the software manufacturer's site. It's not like Lion appeared out of nowhere yesterday. People will have been asking third-party software creators about plans for Lion-compatibility for months now.
