I just got upgraded to Lion - I'm hating my working life right now. I work in Photoshop all day long, and the jumping cursor issues (well documented, check the interwebs) make it very difficult to use the pen tool - a tool that is required for the work I do. I'm using CS4, I've tried CS5. A lot of the problem seems to be the mouse I'm using - A microsoft intellimouse. (I need a bigger than stock mouse, or my hands cramp up.)

I hate to say it, but it looks like Apple isn't even acknowledging this well - documented issue. I even tried using a third party program called steer mouse to try and rectify this. No Avail.

I became adept with a Wacom in a previous life, but then I found a mouse that I liked a lot. Oh well.
Unfortunately, time marches on and I will apparently have to adapt again to the Wacom pen. (And, BTW, come on, Wacom - please make a mouse bigger than a walnut. Just because we work in creative doesn't mean we're all dainty)

Good news, though! I have a well-worn Microsoft Intellimouse for the first person who PM's me and is willing to pay a few bucks for shipping.

I don't trust the cloud. The power is down and you need to work on a document- how do you get it?? If it's on my hard drive I have no problem. If the cloud is down you- and your business- could be too. Happened here in DC to a lot of businesses a few months ago.

Still on snow leapord too.

Stuck on Lion here with my early Mac Pro (not eligible for Mt lion). Even that last upgrade was a mistake, I should have stuck to snow leopard. Each new release of the Mac OS attempts to make the Mac more like an Ipad, which really annoys me. Haven't used any of the Exposé / launch pad, whatever other tablet like features, and each new release slows down the machine. So, no... The messaging feature seems useful however !

I always wait a couple of months before upgrading the OS - but am anxious to get icloud on my work/home machines, so have been wanting to bite on ML, (currently on SL) but the issues listed make it sound like maybe it should be a 2-3 month wait before upgrading, and deal with the fact my mobile Apples will continue to enjoy the cloud, while my stationary ones wait

I like the cloud (using google some now) - I have to access files from all over the place- and it gives me great mobility, and I like it better than carrying around a flash drive from work to home and back again (mostly because I always forget it).
