With delta updates, in app purchases, and push notifications tied into the MAS in Lion, what's not to love? :p

lol fair enough. mail looks better do. don't think it'll get me away from sparrow though, love it.

also all the new features in mail are things other apps/web apps have alreasy. the new UI is nice thuogh.

also i want some more technical info, like are they actually killing support for 32 bit CPUs.

also finder has tabs now? or is more useful, cause i effin hate the default finder (:wub: totalfinder though)

i don't mind it, it's convenient.

I don't know, i think i'm still not 100% confortable with my mac yet..still getting used to it.. I don't like the Window Managers, file managing seems to be more time comsuming than Windows or Linux. I am always moving files and organizing them (1000 songs week(i am in 3 record pools for DJing) and other file types like logos, drops). Maybe, I'll get used to it.

i duno how much i like the no scrollbars visible thing, there should be some kinda indicator that there is scrolling available... to have it only so you know if you try to scroll is a little odd

On the most recent Lion build, I noticed that if the page I was viewing was being live updated, the scroll bars would re-appear for a second to indicate there was new content.

usually i don't care much for organzing that stuff, that's what spotlight is for (and itunes for music). i do put albums in their own folders though.

Lion only available on the App store. No physical media will be available.

that sucks, how am i suppose to get it on my hackintosh :( 30 dollars is nice though. I guess this is how they are trying to combat piracy and hackintoshes?

Kinda disappointed that they didn't demo any thing that we didn't already know from Lion. Was hoping for more new NEW features. But guess not.

It's probably an indication there really isn't anything new in Lion that hasn't already been shown off.

Just like with Leopard, those "250 new features" will probably have 10-15 things in Mail alone, like "widescreen layout" and "improved search."

Everyone who was bitching about the App store, time to suck it up. The ship have sailed. Looks like Apple is leading by example killing off the disk version of the OS.

And I still don't think that's necessarily a good thing, I would still prefer to have the option of a physical copy of Lion. Obviously, I can still do this by burning the DVD myself or putting the image on a USB drive, but I just think there should always be a physical fallback.

As we saw with some of the DP releases, lots of people ran into issues when trying to download and install Lion from the App Store. Also, with Lion being entirely digital, how will one now do a completely clean install?

$29 is pretty smart. They've been doing the samething for a while. It makes the user think, "Oh man, $29, that's super cheap!" But yeah, the only way to use said $29 cheap software is to buy a nice new Mac :) Apple ain't no dummy, they are a hardware company, not software like Microsoft. So hell yeah, make some cheap stuff (good though!) and then people will have to buy your expensive hardware to run it anyways since it can't be used anywhere else*

* - minus some skills from a Hackintosh peoples.

All in all, i'm pretty stoked to!! :woot:!!!!111!

...how will one now do a completely clean install?

My question as well. But i'm sure someone somewhere will figure something out. It's not that hard to rip the DMG from the app store.

And on your point. Only people with Snow Leopard can get the App Store (correct me if I'm wrong). How will people on Leopard and Tiger upgrade without a disk?

Questions, questions...

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
