  • Additionally, installing Java 7 will disable the ability to use Apple Java 6 on your system.

      Not true - the word 'system' is misleading.  More accurately: installing Oracle Java 7 (JavaAppletPlugin.plugin) on OS X will prevent use of Apple Java 6 in web browsers and other Internet apps that use the plug-in.

    No preferences for pagination. Forcing pagination makes it unnecessarily difficult to engage with long topics.

      For 10.7 (Build 11A511), I do not recommend this.  I submitted a comment, not yet published, with reference to http://identi.ca/conversation/76905136#notice-79505996

      To further clarify Hardware acceleration is usually locked on - this setting and others are inalterable - so if the user senses an undesirable impact on performance, there is no easy way to troubleshoot acceleration-related issues.

  • DiskWarrior 4 version 4.3 is completely compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Jul 11
       
      To the best of my knowledge: whilst started from the DiskWarrior 4.3 DVD, it is impossible to unlock volumes that use FileVault 2 or any other application of Core Storage full disk encryption (FDE).

      No! Do not abandon FileVault secured home directories in Snow Leopard before attempting to install Mac OS X 10.7.  http://ur1.ca/4rrp2
  • incompatibilities between the two versions of FileVault
  • if you’re using third-party disk encryption, you should probably disable that before installing Lion

  • A software update is usually downloadable; a software upgrade usually is not.

      Expect this line to change after Mac OS X 10.7 is released.
