Nowt. Just been running all the betas since the first.

Also GM is really f**king unstable, don't bother if you're thinking about it.

Re: Lion to be released this evening?

Yeah. It's quite buggy. Especially the new version of Apple Mail. Loads of strange little bugs.

I use GMail, seems fine.

Only probs I have are slower boot up, and upon reboot all the previous apps/windows open, even when I've set them not to.

I'm aware of that asshat. I'm just saying I'm having some bugs with it, Apple Software isn't perfect you know.

Re: Lion to be released this evening?

and yes, apparently there are bugs but nothing that can't be sorted with a minor update after release day.
 
Re: Lion to be released this evening?

If it's not on it already then you will be entitled to a free download once its out.

Think you totally got the wrong end of what I was asking there. I'm asking if upgraded MBPs are being released alongside Lion, so the current ones will replace the White Macbook as the cheaper older option.

UK Apple stores have recieved there promotional material with instructions not to display it until 2PM tomorrow - they have an overnighter tonight to finish preloading all display models.

Looks like tomorrow PM is it

LOL. How you think you have the right to criticise anyone on anything Apple is mental.

Is your brain still running Jaguar?

What's the crack with installing it? Will a standard install keep your files and docs etc

Would it be best to install a clean copy, then TM backup to get your programs/files back?

I'm getting the hang of Macs, new to installing new versions of OS.

Apparently 1330 BST is the release time, today that is.

Re: Lion to be released this evening?

in answer to your question - personally i would do a CCC backup before installing it to be safe - and then once you have done that just install it.

When i installed the GM it literally updated the OS and when it had done everything was still where i left it
 
Re: Lion to be released this evening?

Well I have two HDDs in my iMac. OSX is on my SSD which is backed up to the HDD using Time Machine.

So I was wondering if I can do a clean install on my SSD, then use TM to backup all my programs and data back onto the SSD with Lion on.

I'll attempt to download this tonight but I fear the servers will be at a crawl by then.
