and the agreement says... you're entitle to updates like 10.7.1, 10.7.2, etc. but not 10.8. So another cat coming I guess!
Nowhere in the agreement does it say anything about the existence of 10.8, nor does it imply it.
EVERY agreement from 10.2 on has said that you're entitled to 10.x.x updates for free but not 10.x updates. It doesn't mean OS X is dead and it doesn't mean it isn't.
No doubt the people who are being effected by the mentioned bugs are finding it irritating, but I have to say that personally, Lion has been the most trouble free OS upgrade I've ever had.
Once I found out how to reverse the scrolling of screens, I've not looked back - I'm really impressed with it.
Doesn't fix the iMac wifi issues. Gee, now there's a surprise... Dunno why I bothered updating. They never fixed the Snow Leopard spinning beach ball of death issue either.
did anyone actually do the update? curious if any improvements?
I have a mid 2010 MBP. I had several coffee shop wifi networks issues connecting even with other macs running snow leopard had no problems. My browsing was slow at home even with a 8 mbit connection. I now notice Wifi is near istant from sleep and pages load faster and less buffering interruption on youtube

My MBP was not able to connect to my home WiFi network upon wake from sleep. I used to happen all the time. I am not having this problem after I the update.
So what? It can simply grey out the AirPlay button when that situation arises and make a pop-over dialog saying why it can't work with that file. You make it sound like this insurmountable endeavor.

I can think of one: QuickTime can play AVIs (et. al.) with Perian. No iDevice can. So you can't be guaranteed viewing of your files when AirPlayed via QuickTime.

Hey, I know. I want it, too. I just figure if anything, that's Apple's reason.

I'm personally experiencing an issue whereby my mid-2010 iMac will not wake from a lengthy rest period (as in overnight or returning home from work) with 10.7 installed. From what I read this seems to be a common issue with my model of iMac but I'm not sure to what other models this problem extends. The only fix I've found thus far is to completely power down and back up again. Anyone else having this issue know if it's been addressed in 10.7.1?

i have older imac but no issues like that. maybe dont let hard drive ever sleep (system pref energy saver). set hard drive sleep to never. let your display sleep at some interval that you like. on my imac, hit spacebar and instant on with no lag.

Unlike iOS, with OS X you don't have to wait for Apple to give you features. Google Airflick.
The update shows as 17 MB on my iMac that was upgraded to Lion, but my 13" MacBook Air that shipped with Lion has a 59.4 MB update. And the new build # is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 (11B2118).

I did. So far so good. The WiFi update alone is worth it. More news as they develop.

Which? is what it says.

Let's hope it also invisibly fixes some of the finder issues and video glitches that we know they will never own up to.
How about the audio popping when using analog output?
WOW Apple, how hard is it to add an AirPlay button to QuickTime Player and Plugin?! For that matter, why not all iLife apps too?
I am with you on this one. Since I no longer have a DVD player in the house, it would be handy for streaming DVD's from my iMac to my TV.
