    You can probably expect it on the App Store between 10:00 A.M. - 11:00 A.M. Pacific Time. Might be best to wait a few days while the initial crowd downloads it.
    The wait may be wise simply because of congestion.

    On that topic, has anyone noticed a slow down in iTunes/Mac App store download speed over the last two weeks or so? I'm on a 30Mbps network and yet most of the time I get 0.5MB/sec. Both on Mac and PC.

    Yes I have. I've noticed slowness with XCode updates too. This on an otherwise fast WiFi connection.

    Have any developers out there tried it on older hardware? Say... a 2009 MacBook Pro? Just for example...


     


    Is it worth installing, or are the requirements cutting it too close? Technically I think it has all the specs needed.

    You can use 32GB of RAM in an Ivy Bridge (current model) and 16 in the MacBook Pros that have been available for the majority of 2012.

    Yeah, right.



     


    It says there are no known issues, not that there aren't any issues at all. In other words, people just haven't found issues yet which doesn't mean that when released they won't appear.

    It's a different thing to seed to mostly developers, which in many cases only test their own apps, than to seed to us consumers, who install loads of apps from several developers and mess with the whole system..

    Apple has lost the plot for content creators. So when no one is able to create content on the Mac anymore what the hell are all the consumers going to look at?


     


    The most boring update in Apple history unfortunately.

    In what way? 


     


    Hey, that works for both sentences!

    Because they have added nothing from what I can see which expedites content creation.

    So unless Apple makes it such that worse software can be churned out more quickly, they have failed…

    You are clearly not a content creator. For consumers who wish to have a more integrated OS with social media fine. However it seems that Apple has long ago left behind it's core community and sure financially it makes sense in the short term but long term I think they may come to regret it. Their recent hardware upgrades or lack of was a joke as one simple example never mind Lion+ etc

    Okay.


     


    Was I wrong, or did you just decide not to correct me?

    Since you didn't answer the last one, I don't expect one here, but "joke" how?

    I'll wait for you guys to try it first, and then I'll install it on my iMac if reports of issues are not too numerous. (:

    Maybe if you just said what kind of content you have in mind. Do you mean video editing, sound recording, cartoon drawing, what? Because I create content all the time and my MacBook works just fine.

    Last year I upgraded to Lion right away as soon as it went online and actually experienced no major issues, besides getting accustomed to the new features. I am thinking of doing the same, but keeping a backup ready just in case. Even though I find the new features underwhelming, particularly the social-media integration and sharing, I like having the latest update of software in hopes of achieving a more stable system. Especially Safari and Mail should be more decent, although the responses have been mixed.

    Maybe that poster specializes in creating grass roots fear and loathing? (although all of those last post seemed pretty effective and would have been fine having been created on Mountain Lion.)

    I like to tweet and blog about each and every edit I make as I struggle through attempting to "create content" on Lion.


    Perhaps some of you have read my blog?


    "Random Mobile Phone Snapshots with Progressive Edits of Same — Includubg My Complaints About OS X as it Hinders my Important Work"


     


    Sorry I'm kidding. I just can't resist.


     


    No the link is not broken.


     


    There is no such blog (see my tweet.)

    Tallest Skil is simply asking you questions which you refuse to answer. Your reply simply shows you really can't back up what you say.

    I have a friend who says that Lion has been really bad for him (he says it is messing up under intensive use of multiple accounts.)


    I have yet to experience that problem and have not read of any such problem with others.


    I don't care for the lauchpad interface though (I'd like to reorder the screens.)


    And it took me forever to get used to the new scrolling (many years of conditioning to overcome.)
