Apple's New OSX Lion... response to Microsoft's Windows 7?
Apple released the details of their operating system upgrade, OSX Lion. The concept behind Lion is meshing Snow Leopard with an iPad. This seems like a good idea, but I'll reserve my judgment for when I actually use it. Luckily, Apple's operating system upgrades are only $50, so I'll pick it up when it comes out.
Besides the features of Lion, I'm thinking that Apple is trying to one-up Microsoft. (Yes, I know that Linux rocks, but in the mainstream, it's really OSX vs. Windows.) Windows 7 is just plain good... I love it. When it was Vista vs OSX, OSX won hands down. If you didn't like OSX, you either went to Linux or just stuck it out with XP.
Once Lion is formally released, we'll be able to accurately compare it with Windows 7.

I will be waiting to read the comparisons and veredict
Can't wait for the release (and subsequent review).
Steve Jobs said windows was an open system, so I'll stay with windows. :P
This is where shit gets real! I'll get a strictly JDM theme goin for you soon, don't you worry.
I think I'll stick with 7.
Taahahah... that windows phone ad was funny. Still bent myself on the ifer (iPhone). So, I'm interested in this Lion upgrade. Hopefully it is better with memory management than Snow. I just had to install iFreeMem to start clearing out things when Safari was hogging the world and the moon with it.
me too ^
i had xp from the day it came out till the day windows 7 came out, never steared me wrong
I wanna try and install it on my pc... hope they come out with hack for that soon :D
i dont this will beat win7
I'm using windows 7 and its working great. i wonder how this one will compare
I just stuck with XP, haha.
i prefer mac os wtf!
i think osx is greatly better then any windows ever
I can't wait both for Lion and your review of it.
yawn*
good post! Thanks for checking out my blog!
we'll see I guess, my mom has a mac and I'm sure she'll get the update...I just like my regular toshiba though.
hmmm do you know of any other features that would really make this an upgrade?
We'll see how it compares :)
I dhate macs but I like to read about them.
windows > * !!!
haha
Not a big Apple fan, I agree that Windows 7 rocks!
macs suck imo..
Yeah I'm excited for it.
something about that logo just looks off I cant pin it down tho
sweet, looking forward to hear more
i've actually never tried windows 7...ive been using XP for a few years now cause I hate vista. Definitely want to see what kind of changes they made to OSX though
A OPONENT HAS APPEARD.
here comes more mac vs pc bickering! lol
There's still plenty of time until it's released. I know it will be a major improvement. I can't wait!
I never thought of their upgrades as upgrades and just updates to the current system....
Lion is a much cooler name!
Windows 7 is good. I still enjoy using Ubuntu more, just feel safer.
haha, true, i never switched to vista, it was such a load of elephant diarreah.
Will try to stick it on a Hackintosh.
I'm eager to see what Lion feels like. :D
Doesn't really affect me :P
I've never been a mac user. My girlfriend uses a mac and whenever I'm at her dorms I use her laptop to browse, but aside from that I never use them. I'm definitely one of those people too comfortable to move to another operating system. Linux is too manual for me, mac is only now starting to get games thanks to steam, and Windows has always been there while I was growing up.
Looking forward to it.
Expecting great things from OSX Lion!
Have to agree, I like win 7 as well so far what I'm hearing about Lion is mixed
They just wanted to make the lion joke XD
I can't help but buy into their great marketing schemes. They could sell anything they wanted, and I bet Lion will sell really well.
windows 7 is pretty decent hopefully mac can compare well
We shall wait and see. IMO, mac needs throw everything including the kitchen sink in order to touch windows 7. But if anyone can do it, apple can.
waiting for full review of both of them and comparison
i got an email from apple stating this. haha nice post.
I'm pretty excited for this, I've only heard about it from friends though. I need to find time to sit through the keynote.
Look out, there's a lion back there!
Apple releases an OS X update every year. I don't think it's a direct response to Windows 7.
I finally got Windows 7 and it's such a breath of fresh air. I'm excited to see how Lion turns out.
I'll stick to my Win7, but nice to know Apple is keeping on top of their game and not slacking it in the OS department.
We'll see about this....
Yeah its a sweet product. Can't be beat for only two bucks a bottle too.
Basically, apple is going to make us pay for a skinned version of linux again?
I want to try out the apple air they released.
cool lion logo.
yeah windows 7 was surprisingly good and i think i will stick with it
I guess we'll see, though I've never been a mac user.
lets see how this turns out
