Would you go from Snow Leopard to Lion (not Mountain Lion) if you could?
So I have one of the older '07 MacPros that can do Lion but not Mountain Lion. I'm still holding at Snow Leopard. I just found out that I can still get Lion from Apple if I want to. Question is, do I want to? I have zero experience with Lion.I DO have Mountain Lion on another machine here, but not running PT on that one.
So there's my basic question. Are ther any pros and/or cons to moving to Lion 7.4 from Snow Leopard? Will I regret it? Love it? Anyone? |

I think the only pros that were related to pro tools going to lion for me ah well let's just say there weren't any I didn't notice any significant difference
Now outside of ProTools two big differences that I found really helpful were resizing the finder window and searching from the address bar inside of Safari That's it

Beside that no benefit but also no disadvantage.

Apple should continue to release security updates for Lion until the successor to Mountain Lion ships. Any security holes in Snow Leopard are likely to go unpatched.

I can't think of any advantages it has over Snow Leopard, just a lot of drawbacks, the most annoying being the lack of "Save As". Yes, there's no "Save As". What stupidity possesed them to remove a command that is as essential to using a computer as the power button is beyond my comprehension. Instead, apple though it would be more convenient for you to "Duplicate", and then rename the duplicate. They got smart in ML, and bought back the Save As feature. I have both a ML and SL partition now, but I still spend most of my time on SL. I will probably move to ML permanently eventually, but I just haven't had enough time for it to prove itself yet.

I thought they just renamed it 'DUPLICATE'. Wasn't that the deal? Or was the functionality of DUPLICATE different also?

Duplicate, Unlock etc.... new forms of access to "save as" if written into the app.
Most power apps like Pro Tools retain the save as menu path. Cloud calendars was my incentive. I still run most my systems at 10.6.8. Zero in 10.8 As with most versions of OS-X, I turn off many features like dashboard, spotlight for media drives, F keys OS features not primary..... (nor recommended in Pro Tools install guides).

I just upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. I was getting stuck notes when using Vienna Ensemble Pro 5, and I heard this would remedy that situation. So far, so good.
I upgrade only when I need to. |
