Time to hit the boss up for the couple of new machines we have been thinking about getting. I want machines that run Snow Leopard. Lion is one kitty that I don't plan to adopt anytime soon.
Better buy fast. Some seem to be entering short supply mode. Mac Pros and Minis are showing signs of disappearing in some countries.

Lion GM still has performance issues with Intel HD3000 equipped MBPs. (read: graphics mojo like genie fx, opening folders, rescale windows, scrolling, ...) all go a bit jerky at times.
Is definitely much slower compared to SL. I had some hope they would fix/improve this for the release version.
Ahwel, lets wait for OS X 10.7.1

If you are still running PowerPC apps when Lion ships, it is time to get a new computer, preferably an Apple product like the MacBook Air or iMac and examine the range of new possibilities that Open Source software provides. That, combined with Lion, will result in a steep learning curve but one that is well worth the effort!

So this isn't going to run on that PowerBook G5 they're releasing soon, is it? Sigh.

Queue the "Lion Roars" headlines across the tech media.
Well, come on. That's catchier than "Snow Leopard Catches Its Prey and Stores the Caracass Up In a Tree"

The Golden Master build of OX10 has some issues, particularly with Safari 5.1 . In 24 hours it most have crashed 20 times. It crashes if I try to print in Reader mode. This is very annoying because I print article to PDF often to share with my students. It has slowed down my Core Duo Early 2009 MacBook with 4GB of ram biut not by a lot. Some of the new features are nice. I like Mission Control as a replacement for Expose. It is an improvement. Launchpad seems more like a gimmick to entice IOS users to the Mac than a really useful function. I have organized it but I still prefer using the Dock add on "Overflow" to manage my many programs. It is faster than Launchpad. I have a lot of programs on my machine.
It is a nice upgrade but I would not feel that I had lost anything if I were to go back to Snow Leopard. I hope they quickly work out the bugs with Safari. That is really my only criticism.

After seeing the Final Cut Pro fiasco, I am hesitant to upgrade right away.
My thought too. This release appears to be more about interface changes and umm ... *feature changes* rather than performance.
Which as such has gone in the past spells buggy troubles, slower performance, having to relearn what you had already learned and put in the background, etc.
There is some "progress" which is not progress. It's job justification.
I was looking forward to Snow Leopard. Not so Lion.
