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!

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...
