Topic: Review: Apple OS X 10.7 Lion

[Simon]

Eighteen months after Snow Leopard padded onto the scene, Apple’s latest big cat boasts more than 250 new features.

Many are minor tweaks: for example, you can now pause the screensaver slideshow and search the web from Spotlight.  But Lion also brings more significant changes, beginning with improved support for multitouch gestures with animated feedback. It brings more of the flavour of iOS to MacBook users, bouncing the screen when you scroll to the bottom, for example.

Lion finally brings a full-screen application view, too, hitherto a frustrating omission from OS X. Compatible applications can be switched to full-screen with a new maximise button at the top right of the window. To create a distraction-free environment, Lion even auto-hides the menu bar.

Miaow.

I didn't like their previous upgrade (work machine) but still it'll be a darn site cheaper than any upgrade windows have to offer.

[Simon]

But the machine it goes on isn't. 

[sam]

true, but it can be now. Mac OS X can run on normal machine.

[Simon]

You mean, I could run it on my Windows machine?

[sam]

well it could run on your hardware yes.

I sense a but... 

[Rik]

I sense a butty.

I hope it's not an Apple butty.

I'd have thought there's be problems replacing Snow Leopard because once Leopards pick somewhere to stay, they're very difficult to remove.  After all, a leopard never changes its spots.

And coming back to comestibles, if you have difficulty upgrading the OS does that mean you've eschewed the Apple butty in favour of a Lion bar?

but I've never done it.
