By the way, go ahead and talk about Lion now. I don't care about the NDA. It's July 20 somewhere, right?

Ars has their gigantic (as always) review of the latest OS X release up. It's 19 pages, and is also available in e-book and PDF format. Anand's is up too.

I'm really glad I made a new thread for Lion. In a couple years we can go back to the early pages and laugh at what we thought was novel, just like I did yesterday while going through the parts of the old OS X thread which corresponded to the release of Leopard.

Anyone else notice that Photoshop Elements is on the App Store now? That seems like sort of a big deal to me. I never thought we'd see Adobe aligning to Apple's distribution method, but I guess they don't care about their consumer licensing as much. Still, it gives me hope for Photoshop CS eventually making it there.

Probably because it looks like you hosed with system icons? Just a guess.

NVIDIA in general got a better boost than ATI out of Lion, or so I've read from other forums.

SourKraut posted:Apple can make mistakes/release buggy software or hardware. :P But when one user come in with a completely hosed system as opposed to the many people who just have minor issues, it's generally a problem with their setup or something that needs to be corrected at the Genius Bar.

Doctor Zero posted:I guess I don't understand your issue. Parallels, an App that already has known issues in Lion is having problems, and you blame Apple? Maybe that's why SWSP is being hard on you?
