i am surprised that apple has already released a developer preview of xcode 4.1 :blink:

no just open it once its finished and let it run, it will reboot and you will install lion as you would normally do with mac os x

That's what I thought. But, is there an actual ISO I can burn to a DVD?

Although I do like it being tied to the App Store. So now I can put Lion on my MacBook for testing purposes rather easily.

no there is no iso, its only an app and its DRM protected from the app store

With the running application indicators on, does it continue to work just like before, or only for running apps with visible windows? I'm still a little confused on how Resume is actually going to work. Is there still an actual quitting command (Cmd+Q)?

Yep, quitting is still there. I'm still a little confused on the specifics of Resume, and there aren't many cases where you can see it in action. So far, I've noticed that iChat will quit when no windows are open and you switch focus away. Same goes for Address Book.

Yep - currently there is no way to reformat the machine. You download the app from the AppStore. It does it's install over SL

I guess this isn't going to be like Windows betas, where they sternly warn you to do a fresh install of each beta.

I wonder if there will be an upgrade path like this through the betas all the way to the final.

Anyway, Mac OS X Lion leaked onto the internet. That didn't take too long. :laugh:

putting the app online is easy as pie, its getting the app into an iSO format and ridding the DRM protection that would be the tricky bit

edit: i stand corrected, seems this has already been accomplished (Y)

oh dear god no, thats 1 feature i do not want to see in lion D:

It seems much less intrusive than its iOS brother - I'm typing up a hands on to go on the front page of Neowin, and it's caught a few minor slip ups, but it's missed a few others that would normally be caught, because of my horrendously sloppy typing. It strikes a nice balance.

Okay, finally got done installing Lion onto an external drive. So far, I'm quite impressed.

However, it is really weird having iOS scrolling on a computer with a mouse. Having to scroll up to go down and having to scroll down to go up will take me a long time to get used to. Is there any way to bring back the old behavior? It seems of the three options, all it affects is the visibility of the scroll bar, not the actual scroll behavior.

And I really love all the little new animations in Lion. For a developer preview, I'm finding it remarkably stable. It's a bit slow, but that's to be expected running from an external drive.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

      Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
