i like it... but its irritating getting used to all the new stuff xD and that onyx wont work on lion yet
Cant install.... mbp late 09. When trying to install, the program says, it cant install. i cant even clean up my hard drive... worst of all: i cant even access the mac appstore to write a bad review^^
I've heard that a lot of people have been having issues with Chrome. Anyways, how does the new Safari compare to the Chrome you knew? I'd had loved to stick with Safari on Snow leopard because of all the nifty little features, but it was really slow and a memory hog compared to Chrome. Think switching back is doable?
Finally got Lion downloaded and installed. Only had a chance for a quick play around as its late but so far it seems very slick. I have to say its very slow at the moment but i guess its because its my first boot. But i love the gestures and the fullscreen and moving between work space seems very slick and all the new animations etc are great. Love it so far very impressed.
For the first hour or two it'll be slow because of Spotlight indexing. People are saying that it speeds up significantly after that.
Took over 2 hours for downloading, installing, and updating. I have to say it's quite nice. Gotta get used to all the multi touch gesture. One thing that bugs me is in Snow Leopard, three finger scroll left and right you see all the active applications open. Since three finger scroll left and right changes the desktop, wish I could have that feature back. Other than that, it's pretty awesome.
That's intentional. Same goes for the lack of dock indicators—Apple doesn't want you to differentiate between opened and closed applications, because you don't need to. As you know, closing a window doesn't close the application on OS X. OS X Lion manages processes very well in that you wouldn't notice any difference between leaving applications running (even though they aren't being used) and properly quitting them. New API's allow the application to talk to Lion so that, if resources are needed, the OS can quit the application without you ever knowing, reclaiming CPU cycles, memory, and file descriptors. In fact, Apple has gone so far to blur the lines between an open and closed application that an app that is open may not have an associated process (it's in idle), and an app that was closed silently may still have it's resources allocated so that it launches instantly when you need it. You never really know what's running and what isn't, and you don't need to because it doesn't impact performance. It's just a mind-over-matter thing, (even in Snow Leopard). If you want a more in-depth explanation about how Lion manages applications and processes, see here.
