My big fear remains the Lion OS, it's "iOS-like" full screen app
implementation (which I hope I can turn off, or find a hack to turn off)
and what that is going to mean for everyone. Frankly, I'm more concerned
about functionality of current app implementations under Lion than I am
about the apps (like SM) themselves.
That being said, I'm not in a mode to update/upgrade most of my software
until I get a dose of what Lion really will or won't do for me. If I do
grab the Lion OS then I'll be mostly starting from scratch and it may
make more sense for me to move to SM 2.3 and beyond. Util then I'll be
holding onto SM 2.0.14.
Lion will absolutely kill Classic and PPC code.
Intel only and Universal Binary work fine.
Yes...something I have/maintain is a ton of 3D animation content (which
is a major reason I'm not in the least interested in Linux) and while
that content will still work, their installers are probably not going to
work! Now that *is* a conundrum...and I have a lot more stuff like this.
I am looking at the prospect of a 1-1/2 drive to go to an Apple store
download and install OSX.7.
I have a LaCie hard drive set which I may just buy another removable
drive for and replicate my current internal drive...make a dual-boot
system. Other than that, I'll likely end up buying a new '27 iMac once
I can get one with Lion installed...Mini first, though. For my AV setup.
And there being key components in my recent install of Web Premium CS5.5
That are still written in PPC Code. So one of my web premium
Applications may not work as they should.
One thing you can do to get a read is open System Profiler, select
"Applications" and sort on Kind - that will tell you exactly what you
have, system wide on all connected disks. Then you can segregate your
non-Intel stuff from the rest if you want to go that way.
But I also worry about this new "full screen" interface...after the
taste of it I've had on my iPad I can see that seriously affecting my
workflow, and my application selection choices. So clean slate with a
new machine may be my best option forward. I've got too many machines
as it is...ugggh...Lions ability to use whole disk encryption may force
the issue of using SSDs, too - to make up speed. We use WDE at work,
and it's a PITA.
