That's not good news.
IIRC the rumours are for the 14th for the 'retail' launch on the app store and new MBAs?
I've been running the GM for over a week now. I never had any issues with DP4 but the GM has been having issues with the interface lagging or locking up entirely leaving me unable to use the menubar, dock or even switch between applications sometimes requiring a reboot and other times lagging for a few minutes before it starts responding again.
That's not good news. Is the GM a .dmg or an .iso burnable to disk and installable?
I've been running the GM of Lion and it's ok but other than full screen apps I don't really see the benefit to the majority of these changes. I guess I need time for some of this to grow on me.
The point of Lion is to add iOS features to OS X while making the OS more usable for those on notebooks. If you use an iMac you probably won't be as thrilled with Lion as, say, a MacBook Pro user.
Personally, I can't wait. An OS that tries to overcome screen size restrictions is very intriguing to me.
Lion is the first OS I've every rolled back to the previous OS from. Snow Leopard is a lot better. Make sure you have a recent backup when you install it - you'll probably want to roll back as well.
I'm sure the features are intriguing to laptop users but I can see once the honeymoon is over they will be using it the way they used to with snow leopard. Just my opinion.
I guess I'm missing the part where Lion is more like iOS in terms of functionality.
They are only doing a Digital Download right?
Are you guys planning to update at release? I'm thinking about waiting until 10.7.1 before making the switch.

I'm going to wait as long as possible. Not a fan of the new features.
Are you sure you know about all of them? Here are 7 features you may not know about:

And in addition to that, Lion has 250+ additional features that Snow Leopard does not. http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html
Launchpad, Mission Control, and Full-Screen Applications are really just a small part of the upgrade.
While personally I think some of the new features are nice (but not earth-shatteringly amazing), I don't get why people can't simply accept that it won't be an ideal upgrade for necessarily everyone.
Because it's hard to imagine why you wouldn't want stuff like Versions, systemwide app resume, ASLR, or universal app sandboxing even if you don't care about usability improvements like full screen support or Mission Control.
For the most part, I agree. But still, what if your system, while capable of running Lion (so thus not a Core Solo/Duo-based Intel Mac), is fixed at 2GB or one of the slower, older C2Ds? From developer reports, Lion runs really sluggishly in such scenarios, hence why pay a penalty in performance for non-critical new features?
