OS X Lion - Are you getting it?

[GommeInc]

I'm going to, it has a few interesting looking features.

Annoyed that it's download only though...

Really? I guess they might be pushing through an environmentally friendly approach to obtaining new OS'. If you're on a computer in this day and age you probably have the internet anyway Just a bit annoying if you like a hard-backup.

The BETAs were downloads, but you could easily extract the image and burn it to a disk. Wasn't difficult.

If this was a thread about Windows and I brought up not using it and that I was going to use OS X instead both of you would constantly moan at me for an hour. Hypocrites.

You did that the other day. Which actually makes you 2x hypocrits because you're being a hypocrite complaining about their jokes and being a hypocrite about them being hypocrites. Good job.

The interesting thing is, the price (according to WWDC) used to be $129.99

So that means Apple being Apple, charged $100 for the disk :L

Wrong. Pointing out their own hypocrisy doesn't mean I abide by how they think.

Sorry was I meant to infer that by pointing out their hypocrisy you were pleased by it?

No. I'll use an easier example.

If Tom was horrible at basketball and said he was horrible at basketball then scored 90 points in a basketball game and played wonderfully he would be a hypocrite in this instance. Just because I point out that he's a hypocrite in this basketball scenario when I too claim to be bad at basketball doesn't make me a hypocrite.

When you call someone a hypocrite you're calling them one on the basis of what they believe. What you believe has nothing to do with it unless you too have contradicted a belief of your own. I was calling Tom a hypocrite because a discussion was formed retaining to Apple updates and right of the bat he said he would be purchasing a Microsoft product, when if this had been a thread about Microsoft and someone made a similar comment about Apple he would have been livid. It is annoying that people find the urge to defend the multinational software corporation of their preference through means of thread invasion but that's not why I took a stance against Tom - I did because he contradicted himself massively. I also pointed it out because I'm friends with him and have frequent discussions about Microsoft and Apple's ongoing affairs in which fanboyism is often brought up

looks great, most defiantly getting it!

hope it comes out near start of july

[Markeh]

I will.

Oh, that purchase price doesn't include the Mac? Never mind.
If I had a Mac though, I'd jump at it.

I have Macbook 4,1 so no multitouch gesture pad. I would like to see the mission control added as an update to 10.6 but can't see that happening! It's really the only thing I am interested in GUI wise.
