Well, it's about time they did something interesting. But It's really unfortunate that they are making all their computers look like they're running an iPad like operating system! :-(

Lion officially goes on sale today, July 20th. I am looking to get it but I still need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first. I am a slow adopter I guess, but I really want to upgrade to Lion.

So who is planning on upgrading to Lion? With it being through the Mac Store it is kind of cool you can do it without having to go to the store or order it online and wait for it to ship.

I'm not going to. I have no Mac and my mom will never want to upgrade anything.
Maybe it's time for me to finally set up a Hackintosh!
