Braintree Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Is it true you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard in order to upgrade to Lion? I heard that recently, and I don't really want to pay $60 to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that recently, and I don't really want to pay $60 to upgrade. there's no protection / serial numbers / drm on snow leopard, so it's pretty easy to just borrow/acquire it. apple has $76.2 billion in cash reserves, they aren't gonna miss your $30.

Guest Wall Bird Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Is it true you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard in order to upgrade to Lion? I heard that recently, and I don't really want to pay $60 to upgrade. I wouldn't rush into upgrading. Odds are that several of your applications/plugins/etc are gonna end up as incompatible and need updates from the developers, so long as they're still supporting said programs.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I will probably leave this one to settle in for a few months and make sure its any good. I haven’t bought an OS for a while but $30 seems awfully cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlucharski Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 well, the os is part of every mac, its included in the price, so theres no serial, where should you install it, if not on a mac (omit hackintosh installations with that huge marketshare they have). Lion will run only on a dual core minimum. Not everything is sunshine with os x imho. Its a stable system due to be a unix derivate, the performance is rather poor,imho. Under the hood there won't be much to screw arround probably, so they will blow more eyecandy up your ass, you will able to run apps fullscreen, yay. I have a weaker Mac with less RAM and I'm not going to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds are that several of your applications/plugins/etc are gonna end up as incompatible and need updates from the developers, so long as they're still supporting said programs. The normal process is: download 10.7 from the App Store. For the App Store, you need to have SL. Go figure. But the actual Lion installer disk image is a regular .dmg file inside the package from the App Store, this can be burnt as a bootable disk / put on a bootable thumb drive. You can install 10.7 on a freshly wiped drive this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have and I do but it still doesn't seem that much is new. The point in getting it will come when you start feeling left behind because software stops being updated for Snow Leopard. That said it's £21 so I might as well buy it as soon as it looks stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 they've done things to text interaction for instance, like grammar checking/spelling correction has improved a lot, stuff like creating calendar events from within e-mails, Quick Look is much more useful.. there's a lot of usability things which got some treatment. In fact, you can read about it all here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html Many of the improvements are not tat flashy, but very handy once you have them..
