I’ve noticed battery issues since installing the first Developer Preview. Usually, I can only get about 1.5hrs from a full charge, with SL I was getting 6+

@shravan – Yes, I’ve noticed exactly the same thing on my quad-core MBP. Meh.

Anyone else noticed battery issues? Since I downloaded Dev Preview 4, my battery life has become extremely sloppy. Discharges from 100-30% in about an hr. I have re-installed it as well, but no changes and this update doesn’t seem to have helped.

Changes -
Updated login screen (new background)
There is a slightly new animation when switching windows into and out of full-screen mode
There is a new background for Mission Control:
By default, Mission Control is now activated by four-finger gestures (likely for people moving from Snow Leopard)
Preference panes have been moved around in System Preferences:
“About This Mac” has received a slightly new design:
Mail and LaunchPad databases have been updated. LaunchPad has been reset for some.
Users still cannot use multiple windows of a full-screen app in one “desktop” if using an external display.
It might be interesting to note that there must be at least one more update before Lion is released to the Mac App Store because videos on new gestures are still “coming soon.”:
It seems a new bug with scrolling between next and previous webpages in Safari has been introduced.

Keep trying, worked for me after a few attempts. I think Apple servers are just slammed.

I keep getting an error saying:

‘The Update “Lion Developer Update” Can’t be Saved’

‘The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.’

Tried three times now and same message, anyone else?

The logo to enter Full Screen has changed and is a lot larger, almost cartoonish. Not sure if I like it, but it’s a feature.
