I am now on Lion!
The update was difficult as I could not find a key marked 'Download'. Software Update did not show it, and the Apple website apologised for not showing it. I went round and round in the App Store before I eventually discovered the download button and yes, I have used this several times before.
The download took almost an hour with a fast cable broadband. I assume everyone was doing it.
Once downloaded, the installation took 45 minutes.
Now it is running, my first annoyance is that my name appears at the top and I have not yet found how to remove it or change it.
Next is that the scrolling works upside down. This can be fixed in System Preferences.
I am sure there must be many good things, but so far I have not found anything I am delighted with.
Snow Leopard was OK for me, so what can I say except 'If it aint broke, don't fix it'!
I am sure it will grow on me, but in the meantime my apologies for sounding like Geoff!
