I think this answers your question.
I hope there's a lot more than listed, there's certainly a lot more wrong than they've mentioned!
the same.
:cool:
+1. Lion runs very hot compared to SL. Pretty unhappy about that.
Vista was for its entire life span for a large part unstable and unusable for the majority of its users. Lion is running perfectly fine for the majority, safe a few bugs, and gives a very small percentage more serious problems — mostly when updating in stead of after a clean install.
This isn't anything new, this isn't unexpected. If you need a fully stable system: don't install a dot zero release. It's that simple.
For what it's worth: apart from a few strange things (mainly related to 3rd party apps) that were fixable, 10.7.0 has been running very smooth and very zippy on three different Macs here, one of which is 4.5 years old. Haven't upgraded anything though; all clean installs.
