As someone who just upgraded to Lion, I would recommend waiting for a while until some of the bugs are worked out, especially since you are a new user and are just learning. While I personally have not found the bugs to be show-stoppers for me, I just think that things will be worked out more as time goes on. Having said that, however, if you read the new features in Lion and you are feeling particularly itchy to upgrade, go for it. I haven't seen on this list, nor have I experienced myself, any horrific problems with the upgrade like losing everything on your drive or having other terrible things happen. Most of the bugs that do exist appear to be nuisances of various degrees of severity. So, I would say, if you want stability and predictability, you might want to wait a bit, but if there are compelling features or if you are just really wanting the latest thing, I think you would be safe to go ahead and take the plunge. I think it depends a lot on what kind of person you are. In any case, backups are you best friend, so make them regularly.
Good luck. Lynn On Jul 24, 2011, at 12:30 AM, craig J Dunlop wrote: > I just got my macbook in April. what do all of you think. > I am wanting to upgrade to lion.
