@-kappa- fullscreen apps only make sense using a trackpad to move between them easily, otherwise I don't see the point, unless of course there's a keyboard shortcut to move between apps and desktops, but I haven't tried that yet.

I do like that Safari seems to be at least 100% faster. Safari has been my default browser since day one. There are subtle features that other browsers don't have, which has kept me from using Chrome, specifically, as my primary. Now with the speed increase and developer tools in 10.6, I don't see myself abandoning Safari unless something changes.
To support my previous comment above, what I mean is that they are trying to bring familiarity of the OS to users who haven't owned a Mac before, but got into the Apple ecosystem through an iPod Touch or an iPhone. I think it's a logical move, personally. As far as the Flash acceleration and other issues similar, most people simply don't care or notice the nuance.

Anyone else appalled by the new spaces and all windows combined thingy?
Is it just me or is that utterly shit and unintuitive?
- That's the main thing that I think looks gash about Lion, I liked the old method fine...rascuache
- spaces sucked before anywayanimatedgif
- spaces was perfectset
- It does work a lot easier though. On a laptop with trackpad. But multi-screen is a fuck upIanbolton
- it's great until you have about 10 safari windows open, then it goes to shit, old one didn'tset
- am i missing something, open up 10 browser windows... how can you scroll through them?
set - Why don't you just have them tabbed? Seems a lot less hassle.Ianbolton
- well durr, sometimes at work though i have up to ten windows open with relevant tabs. Can't tab everything.set

"We just spent some quality time with the new 13-inch MacBook Air, and it certainly seems like a worth upgrade. It definitely feels bigger than the 11-inch."
Excellent reporting. The bigger laptop feels bigger than the smaller one. Great.

They should have wait a little bit more to show this new OS X imho.

Not downloading it here... so far no problems.

I don't have it and probably won't install for a few months—until I get a new mac, but I already like it for this single feature:
To answer those who are going to say Windows had it since always—I know and I don't give a shit, I don't use Windows. OSX missed this very basic feature and now it has it.
- hold down option and resize and it will scale the other side as well. Like in Photoshop/Illustrato...animatedgif
- I hadn't noticed that, nice.set
- seriously... its about fucking time. I hated this about my mac.sherm

Mac book air was always shit out of the box, I love how apple have but the Flash On the motherboard, you want a bigger drive, fuck you, buy a different version, and how the hell to you go about reinstalling OS X on the thing. WTF happened to the pro user for Mac.

I can't wait until Apple just buys Adobe and finally shuts Boz and his stupid conspiracy theories up.

That review was pants.
I'll wait until I get my hands on the OS myself to see how I feel about it, but I agree with a previous poster that it's still OS X and should be more of an extension of an already quite good and useful OS.
He derides the whole tactile GUI - leather books, wood paneling, etc. What he forgets to mention is that Lion will be around for a while and will – I'm positive – be around when touchscreen iMacs hit consumer shelves which will render his whiney and nitpicky argument absofuckinglutely useless.
If the update to the OS itself is shit, then fine. But until they come out with a new OS that bears the name of delicious meats, I don't see why they should reinvent it.
I do, however, wait deliciously for OS Bacon or OS Beef Stroganoff.

In Mail.app, you can hover over a link and click the drop-down that shows up to Quicklook the website link. Kinda spiffy.

It's not all bad, just a few major 'what the fuck?'s' at this point.

So whats the official word on OSX Lion and how CS5/CS4 runs on it? Thats the only thing that is keeping me from upgrading. I think there was a link flying around on a few bugs with CS5. Will it be addressed soon? What about CS4?
