Update or not?

[wrinkster22]

Hello Everyone,
This year I was fortunate enough to get my first mac (Macbook air 13" if that matters). Now I wanted to know if I should do the Software update to 10.7.2 or not. My last pc still had Xp. So i never updated. So should I Update? also I have a usb to ethernet adapter, should I use that to make it faster? Do I lose data when i update?
Thanks

You're in Apple World now, not Microsoft. You should always update.

Ok. Will do! Will I lose my data?

Hmmm this is so Microsoft of me... Update... How long will it take with a usb to ethernet adapter?

Only problem I've found with 10.7.2 is the LaunchPad icon size. They are stuck being huge.

Yes, you will lose your data. That's what we do around here. Tell people to update so they will lose all their data.

The update is somewhere from 750mb to 1.25gb, so this may give you some idea. Depends on your download speed, your install time may be 10-15 mins

no you wont lose your date

yes once update is complete you will see iCloud in your preferences so you can set it up

I have less than 12 minutes left!
I also restored my iPod touch hoping it will be snappier!

well 10.7.2 killed internet connection for me and some other folk. i had to roll back to 10.7

u maybe in an apple world, but they still screw up as much as the next company. update at ur own risk.
