Mac Os X Lion

I have bought it yesterday, so far so good. Also like the new layout of the mail system.
I didn't do a clean install, just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion. Anyone else bought this OS and like to share his POV?

I just did it yesterday via the App store and it's awesome! Took under 30 minutes to complete the entire process. Changing and entire OS on the Mac is easier than trying to install a program on a PC!!

I use MS Outlook and Firefox so don't really know the full extent of the upgrade for the two apps but everything else is great.

Here's a list of most of the upgrades from Apple: http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html

The only thing that was annoying was the fact that all the apps that came with your Mac (i.e. Safari, PhotoBooth, QuickTime, etc...) duplicated itself. You have to go delete the old version one by one. Also, I noticed that there are some crashes from time to time wtih certain apps. Though they are working hard to upgrade everything and there are constantly new updates for your Mac.

Mission Control and Launch Pad is awesome. I now have multiple desktops that I can switch between with ease. Have a desktop pretty much dedicated to 141 forum! lol...

The coolest thing I found (not sure if they had it in the previous OS) was the text to speech function. For someone like me who don't read Chinese but can understand and speak, I can simply highlight the characters in Chinese and have the computer read it out to me!

The version before lion had text to speech already... although i'm not sure if it was just for mac os functions or you could actually have it read text...

the jump from snow leopard to lion was not as great as from leopard to snow leaopard

personally, Im not a fan of the "natural" scrolling even though i use ipad/iphone daily (it just drives my head in)

but I must admit mission control and launch pad are pretty cool

I got mine from app store.. nice and simple to install...
