I clicked off 'natural scrolling' immediately.

+1 i also did.

is anyone having trouble with the "preview"?? normally i select all my photos then double click one so i can browse them all, then right click the ones i don't like and move to trash. now when i do the move to trash thing it crashes, and the pictures are on the left hand side of the screen whereas in leopard they were on the right!!!

So I just jumped on board the Lion bandwagon and I gotta say, it's pretty cool.

The launchpad feature isn't all that; tapping on the app folder from the dock works fine.

Mission control however, that's awesome. I like compartmentalizing my desktop.

Natural scrolling, it took some time to get use to, then I figured out that I could turn it off and I did.

I haven't had any issues w/ compatibility, Adobe CS5, Office 2011, Steam, Chrome, and Firefox all work fine on Lion. Prior to upgrading, I did an update on everything.

Overall impression, I hate Steve Jobs because I love my MBP.


Here's a cool picture of a lion:

i agree. the only annoying part is that i can't open a new internet browser in the new desktop, when i try (cmnd + t) it takes me to the other desktop where i have to open a new window and then drag it into the new desktop

What kind of Mac are you using? My sister has a new 11" MBA, and says that both start-up and restart from sleep is lightning fast.

Start up is a little slow for me on my late 2009 13" MBP, but waking after sleep is lightning fast, as if I had never put it to sleep.

its not start-up or restart, it's actual system performance that is lagging after restarts from sleep. Also full screen video becomes choppy. Seems to be a common problem (so I'm reading)

I'm pretty content with snow leopard so I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon. :D

I have an iMac early 2009 (24 inch monitor). It wakes up from sleep immediately with Lion.
