What do you reckon my chances are for getting a refund on Lion (bought through the app store)? I've tried it for about a month but really can't get on with it so am putting Snow Leopard back on.
 
Can't see hidden files, drivers don't work, don't like the colourless icons, hate the way I open text edit and old files pop up, Launchpad is useless, Mission Control is useless... tbh the only real reason I'm rolling back is the drivers thing, everything else I can live with and ignore. And even then I hadn't tried the drivers in SL, so it might not work... Hidden files thing is annoying though. Thought I'd lost my Xbox backup on an external drive.
 
Well I went down the route of a dual boot, kind of wished I hadn't...

I wasn't able to shrink the drive Lion sat on to make way for a separate partition for Snow Leopard. Tried everything imaginable but resorted to wiping the entire drive (managed to wipe it in a USB recovery boot) but then it still wouldn't partition. I'd previously made a Snow Leopard installer on USB as my Superdrive aint so super, booted from that, formatted, partitioned and installed Snow Leopard. Left a big gap for Lion, thought about using the recovery to install it again but that was going to take forever. Boot into SL, Carbon Copy Cloner my backup to Lion drive. Booted up in Lion. Remembered I had a few errors copying files to my backup so running Disk Drill now to try and recover those...

Hnngggg.
 
I've stuck with Lion as I haven't really had many issues with it. However, I would agree about Dashboard Mission Control and Launchpad. I've had Lion since day one and haven't found one use for these three apps to date, in fact I've removed all three from the Dock.

I'm surprised it let you do it!
