What are you guys excited for in particular? I'm just hoping it's a smoother, more integrated experience really.

Not coming out of fullscreen apps would be a pretty cool feature that I'd use a lot.

Is there a list of new features for this anywhere? Would be interested to know if it's going to be worth updating.

Yep, just select to (re)install OS X and it'll be like you never left, just better!

allosunshine · 3 Jul 2011 at 12:16

I'll be downloading then burning to DVD or USB and doing a fresh install which is always the best way.

you cant, you have to install SL first and download from app store, its app store only, no burning to disc etc, jesus how many times do people need to hear this!

Jobs said you CAN burn it to disk, but AFAIK you do still need to install SL first.

Seems a bit ridiculous tbh, even if it's just to combat licensing fraud and forcing people to own a copy of SL first, it's pretty easy to find a bootleg copy to 'upgrade' from.
