David, Gordon is right (as usual, but don't tell him that as it will go to his smoggy head) :)
I a using Lion and for the most part its working fine. Actually VO has not crashed on me at all yet, seems more stable than SL. I was having a few teething problems with Mail, but I now do things a bit differently and all seems ok. Am sure the minor bugs will be fixed. There are a couple of minor bugs with Safari, but they are minor and the iTunes bug is minor, but that is not the cause of Lion. There are other aspects to Lion that work much better than before. Some people have reported sluggishness with it, am not finding that, and Mail is not sluggish for me either, and I have about 300 messages still sitting in my inbox (too lazy to move them). The only thing I hate about the Mac is the number of productive apps is less than on the Windows side. I am not a fan of i(can't)Work either to be honest, but that is just my opinion of it. I don't like jumping through hoops to make apps work, I just like to simply use them without any fuss. Also bare in mind, if you still need access to some Windows stuff, you can run Windows on your Mac like I have to do for various web stuff I do which I simply can't do on the Mac due to lack of VO support.
