Yep, thats obviously their mind Tiemo They're not interested in helping you to maintain your backward status. Apple wants its users up to date, with the program, and feeding them money through iTunes and the App Store. Best, Warren ___

At the risk of getting flamed by some as an Apple lover, I think that may be harsh. Remember one of Microsoft's excuses for not producing a really modern OS for so long was that they had to maintain backwards compatibility for all their users. At some point this becomes a ball and chain for the

The Mac App Store is kind of a Snow Leopard thing. Apple decided to distribute Lion initially via the Mac App Store so ... if you do not have Snow Leopard installed, you cannot buy and install it. It is my understanding that there will be a version of Lion that comes on physical media that you

Hi Tiemo. You are not alone. A lot of raised eyebrows are only now relaxing after learning of Apple's method of delivery. If you upgrade to Snow Leopard and then do all the updates, you would see in your Apple Menu under Software Updates a new item called App Store. If you went there and set

Oh, by the way I hope you mean Dual Partition. Dual boot *can* mean to install two operating systems on one partition (you can actually do this with Windows but no one recommends it). You will want to install Lion on a second partition or hard drive, because Lion is going to overwrite your

So how do you download lion from the App store when all you have is Leopard or even Tiger? I do not think (perhaps I am wrong) that the App Store shows up in Leopard. Only Snow Leopard. And are you saying that Lion will install over top of an OS that is NOT Snow Leopard? This seems to

Yes it is. In fact I have done exactly that with the RC1 of Lion. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy my internal drive system and all to my Time Machine drive. If I want to run Lion, I reboot holding the option key and select the external drive. Bob On Jul 27, 2011, at 12:14 PM, Warren
