It ain’t a glitch. The new system will never work on anything that was designed for PowerPC. I have Nikon software for an expensive camera that is dated late 2009 and that does not work, nor is there an upgrade for it. Filemaker about 3 years old, Photoshop 4 years old, etc etc. None of them will ever work on Lion. To update every programme that I have so that ir works on Lion will cost hundreds of pounds. No thanks.
Android phones aren’t even catered for. More of the recent Apple trend to do everything to cater for iPhones and iPads at the expense of the people who use their machines for a living.

For my two pennyworth, it is a disaster. 18 month old Nikon software will not work on it, nor does there appear to be a download that works. Three and four year old versions of expensive software such as Filemaker and Photoshop do not work. Check the web for people asking how to uninstall it: they are there in their droves

Why these people are so keen to drag us out of the PC-age? I just what a PC that is merely a PC, it looks like a PC and works like PC, NOT an iPad with a big keyboard!!

Downloaded lion, installed it, found it working like a charm..
then realized I can’t connect with my android smartphone and no access to my Synology NAS via SMB.
Downgraded to SL again, frustrated I’m waiting now until these issues are hopefully fixed…

Yeah, uh… Office 2004 is way outdated. Both Office 2008 and Office 2011 run fine on Lion. But I’d recommend upgrading to the better and less expensive Apple iWork apps!

Command + Tab is the keyboard shortcut you are looking for. This existed long before the 4 finger swipe (which I always found awkward to activate the switcher, feels much more natural for switching between spaces).

insert your snow leo bootable DVD then boot from that DVD, go to disk util, delete the Lion partition, make a new partition, then quit disk utility.
you can start snow leo installation now.

I probably will do the same but could you tell me how to go back to snow leopard from lion? I’m quite disappointed with apple for this. Must be a competition issue between the two – but it sure did take a great toll on the consumers!!!

Not happy about not being able to use MS Office 2004. I’m going to uninstall Lion until this glitch is fixed.

@James, you and I are on the same page. I did just that, as I’ve got AppCleaner. I installed Lion, and everything seems fine.

The reversed mouse scroll wheel thing is driving me nuts though!

Yes. I got rid of my couple of PowerPC apps before backing up. I recommend using AppCleaner to get rid of all the extra files associated with the apps (plists, etc).
