Hi all,
I want to start off this post by saying that I installed Lion the day it came 
out on my Macbook Pro. Before doing so, I made a time machine backup of my Snow 
Leopard system, and I can't tell you how glad I am that I did. I tried Lion for 
a week, and found it to be terribly buggy and not nearly as intuitive to use as 
SL. I restored my computer back to SL, and have continued using it since. 
Recently, a friend of mine got a brand new iMac with Lion installed. He has 
been calling me asking for help understanding how to do some very simple 
things. using the mail program, entering a tun of contacts into his address 
book, and using Safari to listen to a webcast he particularly likes. While we 
handled mail without much difficulty, I must say that Safari and Address Book 
have been riddled with problems. Safari will often give us the busy signal, and 
the address book kicks us out of the fields and deposits us in some sort of no 
mans land where we must command tab back and forth to get free. He has updated 
to Lion 10.7.2, and yet this hasn't really fixed the issues. The nonsense with 
creating multiple desktops and such was a bit annoying too. I wonder if maybe 
simple is better some times. It's sad, but as I purchased a snow leopard full 
installation disc for him, I'm going to go down to his house and put SL on his 
machine so that he can actually have a good experience using his mac rather 
than the flawed and terribly buggy one he's been having. That's not to say that 
SL doesn't have its problems, but they are far fewer than Lion it seems. I hope 
that Apple will take a page from Microsoft and move quickly on to the next OS 
as Microsoft did from Vista to 7. I'm afraid Lion is a lemon.
I'm curious to know about your experiences with Lion versus Snow Leopard. 

Friendly,
Chris
