If you are using a Magic Mouse you can either do the Expose double tap over the app icon in the dock
Set up an "Application Windows" hot key in Mission Control prefs
Press up while in the CMD+Tab dialog
swipe up over a pile of windows in mission control.
- I'm on the laptop at the moment but will give this a try with the magic mouse later, thanks!set
- note I said double tap not click, just need to touch the surface not press itanimatedgif

I can't seem to find a built-in Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software in the Application folder like Security Essentials in Windows 7.

I like it. I also don't mind the reverse scroll because now its the same as on the iphone and ipad. a $30 OS upgrade beats a $299 $399 or $499 upgrade any day.
- If they charged > $100 for this upgrade shit would have hit the fan.oddslob
- it seems the one saving grace is that lion only cost $30. Hard to keep complaining at that price.oddslob
- New scroll is good. My grandparents and grandparents never understood the old scroll direction.ismith
- @ismith interesting. second nature to me but my mom, not so much. Its strange to watch them learn/fumble.shellie

Anyone already tried CS5 / 5.5 running on Lion? Any minor or fucked up issues?
- I've had none and I've used Photoshop and illustrator a good bit.antagonista
- 5.5 seems good, though we haven't updated at work, what with AE and Avid and suchdecisionman

I like it. Honestly it just seems like a slight upgrade to leopard. I like mission control and find it a lot easier and simpler than expose/dashboard/spaces– which after some time I've seemed to just use spaces and forgot about the other features.
3 finger swipes between desktops is cool. I find myself doing a half swipe a lot to take a peak at my email. also great for viewing a tutorial in safari and switching between PS quickly.
fullscreen is ehhhh for safari (don't like to view sites that wide) but works well with other programs.
I love the UI tweaks.
CS5 seems to run just fine (although I haven't put in a full work day on it yet).
Honestly after I installed it I messed with mission control, launchpad and got used to the new gestures.... and after that didn't really notice anything else that changed drastically. I'm a bit underwhelmed.

The UI tweaks are great, like the spotlight rollover previews. I also really like mission control.
I was really disappointed with the app launcher until I took the painstaking time to organize it (slowly) and hide all the bullshit.
The full screen shit cracked me up, I've been using that since win 3.1. However, after realizing that full screening at app essentially breaks it into its own desktop space, allowing me to swipe between apps, I really like it a lot. I keep a track pad to the last of my keyboard and use it only for multitouch and it's pretty great.
I forgot to check, does the QuickTime player still force the controls ontop of the playing video? That's the most annoying shit ever.
The funny part about this whole thread is how Mac users can quibble over details now because the os has evolved so far.

iPad autocorrect still blows.... hard. Read my above post to witness.

There's a big issue with Safari 5.1, it unloads tabs from memory randomly (or when the OS feels it needs memory) like the iOS devices do, meaning: if you had GMail opened in a tab and notice you have replies on a conversation (chat) once you click the goddamned tab it reloads the whole page losing your chat.
It goes without saying how this breaks many sites that load stuff dynamically through ajax, I hope this is a bug or they allow this to be turned off because it's pure crap. That or I'll switch to Chrome at least there's that...

1. go into full screen safari
2. move cursor to right-most pixel on screen
3. click and drag to centre of screenFull screen apps at their best.

- HOLY SHIT. thanks!!! anyway to save this for all pages?genfourth
- I don't think there's an option to save, I think it's for problematic sites which don't display right on huge resolutionskalkal

This could be just a coincidence, but ever since I upgraded to Lion, Microsoft Messenger for Mac tends to disconnect often. No internet connection problems though. Anyone else having similar problems?

It seems faster than Snow Leopard but it crashes a lot and is as buggy as windows.

Wifi is fucked.
Full screen apps are the biggest gimmick ever.
Launchpad is absolutely useless.
I quite like Mission Control, but only because I never used spaces.

I love the reverse scrolling and the Launchpad. I love resizing windows like Windows (from all sides) and I like the addition of Facetime. I'm looking forward to better implementation of applications that utilize the full screen mode (in a functional way, of course) and the "cloud." My old Mac is starting to show its age with the Lion upgrade (a late 2006 24" iMac), but still zips along nicely.
Only bug is I get some weird screen glitches that I believe are related to the video card. Not sure if it's a Lion thing or a hardware thing, but it started as soon as I upgraded.

Cool little discovery:
I use my iTunes album artwork as my screensaver and I have for several years. With the Lion upgrade, when that screensaver loads, the album artwork tiles become buttons that, when clicked, play the album. Oh, the little things... :)
