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.

uncheck the top option in trackpad preferences

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
