Rawr LION
For this blog post I actually wanted to do another post similar to the one I did before, a photo update.
But I guess I'll do an update about something else~
Yesterday I updated my Mac's OS from Snow Leopard to Lion. (Lion was released long ago I know!) What took me so long and why did I finally update it?
First of all, when Lion was newly released I was actually really excited about it, I mean... who's not excited about a new OS? From Leopard to Snow Leopard, I thought it was so amazing that I was waiting for the next OS. Yet when Lion came out, I actually went to try it at the store, I'm not used to it at all! Then I started to read all those details about it and it doesn't support certain applications because they dropped the support for Rosetta and whatnot. This means some of the apps I'm using won't work, that sucks. And the initial version 10.7 was pretty buggy at some point, causing certain things to stop working.
Right now I'm using 10.7.3 and what prompted me to get Lion? Simple enough, the screenshot below.
The next release after Lion? MOUNTAIN LION!
They dropped the word "Mac" from their OS, so it's only know as OSX now. Indicating it might be working on other platforms and not just Mac?! Who knows.
Mountain Lion is a mix of iOS and OSX in my opinion. A lot of the features are very similar to what you can do on an iOS, heck they're even bringing game center into OSX. Everything revolves around iCloud now (sadly MobileMe is gone)
What really got me to install Lion was actually Messages. Yes your iMessage from your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch that's running iOS5. It replaced iChat as the messenger for Mountain Lion and they made it available to download (the Beta version of course) but since it was only available to users running Lion 10.7.2 and above... it got me thinking whether I should upgrade it or not.
Finally, I took the dive and now I'm running Lion. Still trying to get used to the gestures, I made it pretty close to the gesture settings in Snow Leopard but there are still a few things I'm not used to (especially the swiping to go back) but anyway, so far so good. Hope I won't encounter any issues as it's only been my first day using Lion lol.
