Corp000085 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Yes, I am "that guy"... The Apple fanboy who downloaded Lion within seconds of it being released on the app store. I was able to extract the installer file from the download and burn the image to DVD. I booted off the dvd and proved that it worked before I installed. Now, its been up for about 15 minutes. Beyond the gestures and scrolling from the trackpad and mail/ical/address book, I haven't noticed much in the way of differences yet. Anyone else get 10.7 yet?

Can I install it on my Dell yet, or do they still have that ridiculous "the machine must have an Apple logo" restriction in the EULA?

Havent grabbed it yet, but some coworkers have. Im waiting on their reports before jumping in. Good Luck! There wont be many differences in this release. This is the last of the big cats (hence the King). The next OS that Apple releases will be the big change. Im guessing to a more iOS type platform.

Not much to report yet... If you're going to upgrade, I recommend pulling the install file from the package and imaging it to DVD. That way, when something bad happens, you have the option to format and reinstall fresh rather than using the 10.6 disc, updating to 10.6.8 and redownloading 10.7 from the app store.

Nanker Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Can I install it on my Dell yet, or do they still have that ridiculous "the machine must have an Apple logo" restriction in the EULA? Of course you can. It'll just take up 4 GB of space and be about as useful as Conner.
