Lion will be here soon!

I am amused - but in retrospect, not surprised - that a hot topic on Macintouch right now is migrating email from Eudora to something that will run under 10.7.

Does anyone here feel locked into any Rosetta apps? Any other thoughts on the new OS?

I am lazy and only have 10.6 running on my newest Mac which came with it preinstalled. My laptop is still running 10.5. I am interested in other people's experiences with upgrades, though!

My upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard went really smoothly. I did it as soon as Snow Leopard came out because I got one of the incredibly cheap upgrade deals because my Mac was so new. I'll definitely be getting Lion, and I don't believe I have any applications that won't be supported (though there's always that chance you'll suddenly go.... "oh. But I needed that!". I'm quite excited by Lion even though nothing is truly groundbreaking, but all of the improvements and tweaks look good and shiny and I wants them! It doesn't sound like a whole new OS but given that I quite like the old one I'm not too bothered about that, as long as the price is adjusted accordingly (I actually have no idea how much Lion will be in the UK). I predict I will really not like the scroll direction change (even though I have an iPhone... you just use the devices differently!), but that does appear to be a preference you can change.
