Oh well... I guess its best to wait and move on.
After we get it, we will probably hate it, or find it won't run some of our programs, or this or that. Everyone will be griping they wasted $30. Want to know how to revert back to previous version.
Isn't that how it always goes?
Like waiting and waiting for the cake to get done, then realizing you left something out and it tastes like crap.
Instead... lets think about "Christmas lights" to kill time.

It's confirmed: Lion will be out tomorrow.

Going to be a LONG download for me. Is there a way to see download time left?

When Lion updates come (10.7.1, 10.7.2 etc.), will we have to do it through the MAS?

Same. I'm with the in-laws on their decent-but-not-awesome internet. If only this came out a few weeks ago, I'd have had it in no time

edit: guh, 5.5 hrs.

Just found it on the Purchased tab of MAS - 3.18GB downloaded, about 20 mins left.

I'm part-way through it. I definitely agree that the changes to iCal and in particular address book are stupid.

Just got it up and running..... my MBP hung on first boot

I like it so far, safari full screen is quite nice :thumbsup:

 

[DivideBYZero]

Got it, not installed yet as I'm still at work.

Did they fix Internet Sharing? On the GM Release I could not share my tethered iPhone through Airport. Actually Internet Sharing didn't work, period. Clean install as well as upgrade.

can anyone confirm?

 

[suklee]

My Firefox and Chrome keep crashing when I try a 3-finger left/right to navigate pages (back/forward). Is this happening for anyone else?

Guess I'm forced to use Safari 5.1 for now which feels quite fast, I must admit.

 

[sportage]

ANyone having issue-free smooth installs?
We'd like to hear from you too.

 

[suklee]

My Lion installed without a hitch, just took a while to do it.. 30~40 mins.

 

[silverpig]

Should we start a new thread for Lion install/use/first impressions/issues?

I'm still downloading. 15 minutes from being done.

 

[sportage]

Will any previous personal data be lost via update/install over top of snow leopard?
That is, is first backing up personal data necessary? Itunes media? File, doc's, etc?

 

[sourceninja]

I did a clean install, so far so good.
