I haven't upgraded yet, but, for example, I hadn't remembered that my copy of MS Office 2004 was actually PowerPC. If I paid attention to it, I would have remembered that, but it has been something I have used so often that I didn't pay attention to it. When the articles recommended I look at About this Mac under Applications first to identify all PowerPC applications first, I found that out. So now, I am taking a closer look to make sure that I don't have any legacy apps that will mess up my workflow. If you have only been on Intel, it should not affect you, but my first Mac laptop was a G4 under 10.3, so I have a number of older apps that are still PowerPC.<div><br></div><div>I plan to upgrade after I have finished looking at all of those programs and identified what I will use differently. I'm not exactly liking the idea of upgrading to a newer MS Office. More than likely, I will just try to use a combination of LibreOffice and iWork to take the place of MS Office 2004. We'll see. :)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Stuart</div><div><br><div><div>On Jul 23, 2011, at 18:16 , James Wu wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I upgraded a customer's MacBook to Lion this morning, and Lion feels really fast and zippy to me.<div><br></div><div>There are a lot of little UI changes that take a little getting used to but feel natural once you do.</div><div><br></div><div>If you are uncomfortable doing the upgrade right now, please wait.
