Title: OS X Lion
Post by: Barrister on August 01, 2011, 10:37:23 PM
Any fellow Mactards installed it yet?

Much like for Snow Leopard, I can't possible say no to a $29 new OS. :blush:

Haven't installed it, will wait for a while since apparently it is more demanding for the computer and my iMac is a 2007 model. And they removed Front Row.

No since I can't part with Rosetta yet and prefer hard copies of OSes.

Meh - you can just burn the download to a disk.

Or, apparently, the apple Store will burn you a copy also.

So far I was liking it.  Install went flawlessly.  Though I didn't like how it suddenly remapped my scroll wheel to work in the opposite direction, that was easily changed.  I guess it makes more sense with a bunch of multi-touch features enabled (I don't have a multi touch anything on the King of Macs).

I'm always obsolete. My old mac mini won't even play civ 5 let alone handle a big OS jump. :(

How old is your Mac Mini?

Almost all Intel Macs are supported for Lion.

I installed it at work to proof it for rollout, and it was a disaster. All AD functions, LDAP, kerberos and everything became immediately broken.

All that nice stuff I like about Snow Leopard playing well in a corporate environment was completely reversed basically.
