I just finished upgrading to 10.7 Lion. So far it pretty awesome, has anyone else upgraded?
 
Yep, for the most part I'm not a fan. Mission Control and Launchpad? No...just no. Airdrop is great though, that really does work like it should.
 
At first I didn't like the whole launchpad thing, but now that I've gotten used to it I don't mind it. To me Mission Control is almost the same as Exposé though.

I haven't gotten to use Airdrop yet because no one else around me has a Mac running Lion.
 
I'll admit I'm critiquing from a business pov, but IMO it carries over to home users as well.
Launchpad, though one may be able to get used to it, is redundant. A more complicated Shift-Cmd-A if you will

Mission Control blends Spaces and Exposé in an effort to 'un-complicate' things. Use Spaces/Exposé and then use Mission Control. More helpful? IMO nope, it's something they should have left well alone.

This whole experiment at blending iOS and OS X for the most part has made people in my position groan, because as usual new apple hardware probably won't be compatible with SL
 
I think it's safe to say that Lion has taken a lot of inspiration from iOS 4 with the touch motions and I think that it all works very well but for me to get the most out of the new system I would need to purchase a Magic Trackpad and as much as I want one, $70 is a lot of money to spend on something that isn't necessary.

I think that the updates that have been made make it look likely that next Apple are planning on taking on the Touch Screen PC market.

The only problem I have had with it is accidently zooming in when web browsing. Does anyone know the touch motion that is causing this for me to avoid in the future?
