This is going to be very confusing. Imagine the support call "What OS? " 10.6.8. "Which One? " Huh?
I can't wait for a Lion update... I've had a few crashing issues lately.
I don't have crashing issues, but I do think Lion is pretty buggy.
If you have a revision nomenclature, stick to it.

This. Now we sysadmins have to worry about which version of 10.6.8 is installed on each workstation. ARD won't be of help; it will report both patched and unpatched as 10.6.8. Just what I needed; more work. :confused:
i also asked apple for a refund which they have agreed to.
Lets be clear that just because you don't have problems with your installation it doesn't mean other people are having major issues with theirs.
mac os x lion in my opinion just has too many bugs. Maybe i'll try again when .1 or .2 has dropped.
Been busy in Cupertino. I better check out Software Updater....
They're being pretty sloppy in Cupertino, that they have to patch the patch so quickly....
Apple's secrecy burns its customers, again.

I'm just amazed so many people installed Lion on their prime machine within days of the OS launching. Talk about incompetence! I have zero sympathy for people complaining about bugs & other teething problems. They should have waited until at least .1 or a .2 update.
overall happy with lion but i have to say i have found another bug.
if I'm streaming something to my appleTV2, the display doesn't sleep even after resting the PRAM, SMC and rebooting.
if i leave iTunes open and stream nothing, the display sleeps. bad for the display not letting it sleep……
i'll give it until 10.7.1 before i un-install. i hate to say it but lion has to be the buggiest release yet!
I was an early adopter of both Leopard and Snow Leopard, and I have to agree... Lion is the buggiest. Snow Leopard introduced some incompatibilities that caused some problems with apps, but I wouldn't classify that as a bug.
Again. What bug?
The standard support for TRIM that isnt working in third party SSDs.
Way to be snarky.
Not everyone has a perfect experience. Just like not everyone has Lion crashing and having apps that worked fine under Snow Leopard.
Your experience is not everyone's.
My experience is that Snow Leopard works fine. Why would I want to install Lion and be a beta tester for Apple? If you have no reason to run 3rd party apps and just like to play with the OS, then have at it. But the test for any OS to prove it's worth, is how well it gets along with other applications.
