One month after the release of Apple’s new OS, I feel it’s time to publish my humble opinion. I’ve been on the Apple train since Tiger but had come in touch with the OS’es since OS9.

I always thought that Lion would be OSXI (11), and not a sub of OSX. But still I figured the changes made to the OS would be as significant as the changes from 9 to X. Just because of the name, rather stupid of me, but I know that lots of Apple fans felt and thought the same way. Obviously they where not, OS9 to X was (although with the inevitable hiccups) revolutionary, Lion, was just an update for Snow Leopard (which was an update to Leopard).

I really had mixed feelings the first couple of days on Lion, and to be honest, I still don’t know how I feel. I don’t know what to recommend to my fellow Apple users. Until this day, I recommended a no-go to my low level experienced friends, and I did the same to my mid level friends (I don’t know any high level users). People who never try anything, don”t ever fix something, still have the same dock, widgets and Sidebar items, and call me whenever Apple offers updates, those are low level users, People who have tried some stuff, know where to find the users Library and the Root Library, use some Terminal, and have edited some Plists, I call Mid Level users. Login in as Root, editing or creating boot .plist files, fixing grey screens and repairing or modding their hardware (successfully) I call High end users.
