Changing (read: "downgrading") to Lion or ML will only make my photography workflow grossly inefficient, with the removal of Save As (ML only partially fixed it, botched it up in certain aspects); inability to completely turn off Save As & Versioning, silly Mission Control vs the more efficient Expose/Spaces, etc etc. Apple please give us back some control, give us back some OS X in this iOS mess.

I know I can upgrade to snow leopard and will shortly but can i upgrade to mountain lion? The apple website says it requires a 13 inch aluminum 2008 macbook or a 2009 and later. I believe my laptop has the same features as an aluminum 2008 because my dad has one and our processors are the same. I have a white macbook that has a Intel Core 2 Duo processor.

Will I loose my Family Tree Maker 2010 version 19.2.1.241? Both of my USB ports have stopped working (I use with mouse and flash drives). Will this make them work again? On the latter, I tried software updates, hardware test, SMC, Pram, battery reset, new user account. (The USB appear in System Preference)....I'm at lost on this!

On my macbook i migrated from tiger to snow leopard and not to lion just because of the issue that older apps which contain PPC code will not be run on Lion. Grrr. On my i5 Mac mini with Lion these programs are consequently refused. I need them for music etc so i want to know whether to run or not to run them. ( example:MidiClock.app does not run on Lion etc.) Thx : ) Robert Hello, i miss information about compatibility with older apps.
