I am looking forward to the release tomorrow. I have waited for the official release so I have not had any previews.
So far I have deleted old apps that I do not use, repaired disk permissions and run cleanmymac.
Luckily I am at home tomorrow so I can download straight away
Please can we have any program incompatabilities in here as well.

Awesome post
What's everyone's upgrade plan?
my SL install is from release day and i think i could do with a clean install but not sure if i can be bothered with the hassle of losing application settings etc I will have to weigh up the hassle factor of doing a clean install....

Just make sure you've got a recent time machine backup and install it. Easy peasy.

I only got my macbook a couple of weeks ago so think I will just straight upgrade to it, not exactly an old install on here 
Can't wait for this
Got the joy of downloading it on 1mb internet yet though

Should be free for you
So long as you purchased (I assume new) after the release was officially announced on 6 June.
I recently got two new machines so am just waiting to see what the deal is (whether the app store will allow free download) or if one needs to contact apple as was the case in the past.

I have to phone Apple tomorrow to get them to sort out my bloody MobileMe syncing anyway as theres a duplicate client in my client and schema folder which is messing with syncing (tried everything to remove it and it simply won't budge. It would save a lot of hassle if we were given permissions to delete the files ourselves, I'm sure most don't go looking in that directory in iDisk much anyway). So once I've done that, it'll be a fresh install of SL and then Lion update.

I thought it was only available through the App Store?
Anyone planning on installing this on "older" hardware? I have a pre unibody MacBookPro (4,1) and am debating the upgrade. For that matter, has anyone installed the previews etc on such hardware?
I believe Lion has new gestures for trackpad users. Currently I use 4 fingers down for "Expose/show apps" and 4 up for "Expose/show desktop". Is this still do-able in Lion?
Edit: quick google explains the changes: http://www.touchusability.com/blog/2011/6/10/trackpad-gestures-in-mac-os-x-lion.html & http://vinceyuan.blogspot.com/2011/03/exploring-mac-os-x-lion-2-trackpad.html
Also Tiger > Leopard seemed a big change. Leopard > Snow Leopard not so much. How does Snow Leopard to Lion compare?

Nope
They were pretty clear about this iirc. I gather you can save to disc etc yourself though.

Unless I am mistaken, they have been pretty UNclear about this and not officially clarified whether it can be burnt to disc or installed without SL being installed 1st
