Thanks Humayun and Chris, download has just finished (was very quick indeed) and am in the process of backing up the installer and making a dvd copy.

Enjoy, mate.

The one thing I am missing is being able to use three fingers to swipe up and down on the trackpad to get to the top or bottom of a page. Also, swiping left and right in Firefox to move back and forward between pages. Hrm.

Two-finger left/right swipe in the new Safari (what you still using Firefox for? Yuk! ) works an absolute treat. Beautiful!

I'm already used to it now after only a day. It does feel more natural on the Magic Track Pad.

I utterly love AirDrop. How good is that! Two machines, same room, wifi and no setup to swap files. Brilliant.

Hrm, yeah, I'll switch to Safari. But, I don't like how it constantly updates all the pages in your pane of recent sites in the background...

I do really miss the three fingers up/down thingy, though.

Spacebar & shift-spacebar are your friends in Safari.

Also check out the new reading list feature.

Something is really wrong with Lion. My 2011 MacBook Pro's battery has depleted in 2 hours, whereas on Snow Leopard it lasted 7-8 hours.

The fans are also running full-time.

How do I roll back? This is balls.

Seems I'm not alone on this issue. Posts are slowly making their way to forums about people having issues with battery depletion on MacBook Pro's. MacBook Air's are fine, though.

I had nothing except Safari running IceInSpace and a photography discussion forum.

Not happy at all.

It's probably still busy reindexing the hard disk. Check whether mds or mdworker are the top CPU consuming processes. This will stop eventually.

If it doesn't the system management controller (which controls power management, fans, etc) may need to be reset to defaults.

Cheers
Steffen.

Thanks, Steffen.

Earlier this morning, I did see a little dot pulsating in the magnifying glass for Spotlight in the top right-hand corner. When I clicked, it did say it was indexing and that it would take 8 hours or so to do. The dot is no longer there so I just assumed it had finished.

I've closed it now as I'm in bed and it ran out of power. On the iPhone now. Will have a look in the morning.

Thinking about it now, it makes sense why the Air's aren't having the same initial issue -- solid state disk!

Thanks so much for the suggestion. I didn't think Apple would put out a dodgy OS.

Stumbled onto this and am keen to get it going.
Being an app, does this mean I can install it on my MacBook Air, as well as my iMac desktop, or do I buy two "licenses"?
I had a similar question with FaceTime, I have it on the iMac, but can't find how/where to grab it for the MacBook Air. It's the bee's knees on the iPhone.

Hi Gary - long time no speak!

Once license does your entire household. You download once, copy and store the installer located in the applications folder somewhere after quitting it as it automatically starts. It's 3.7Gb. From there, either copy it to the second machine's applications folder as well. Fire it up on both and go have a coffee.

FaceTime is included in the install - or at least it was on mine.

LOL That's not like you! Yes, it sat there for a few hours indexing my 800Gb-worth of data on my machine. All good now I take it?

Hi Chris,
yes a while between drinks. I'm about, just a tad quieter, if that is possible.
Hatching a plan as we speak. Looking good though.

I think I've found my problem.

I ran top in a terminal and found a process running at 99%+ all the time.

AGAdminService.

This service is the Citrix Access Gateway service. I use Citrix to log in to work remotely. For the time being, I think I will need to scrap it.

Looks like the Lion's teeth are still a bit too sharp for me at this stage.

Oh, ahahaha. See what I did there? Hahah. Haha. Ha.... oh, never mind...

Good find! I'm using Citrix as well to work from remote, but I only ever install the clients, not the admin stuff.

Cheers

Even though the installation process went smoothly, regretfully I had roll back to SL OSX.

I have quite a collection of software on my iMac and so far only 40% of it has worked with Lion, the rest bring up a plethora of error messages.
(Thank GOD for Time Machine!)

Don't get me wrong I like the new features, but at this point they are useless if I cannot use them.

Will wait until the rest of the software development world has cought up with Lion OSX.

I have however installed a fresh install of Lion on a new partition, this way I can do my own testing and eventually switch over.

Cheers
Mark

Even a technophobe like me was able to make it work, crikey it is different though, I keep rolling the wrong way with the wireless mouse, just something I'll get used to.

I was just reading post on POTN that it doesn't work with Adobe products - Photoshop, Premier, Lightroom, Acrobat? Hope you guys are getting PS working?
