I must only-slightly-awkwardly confess that I am still quite-happily running Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro ... and that, by now, I am extremely unlikely to switch.   (Why should I?)   I never quite got around to installing Lion, and at this point I admit that I really do not miss it at all.   What is “the business case, if any,” for jumping two OS releases ahead at this point in time?   I bought this computer because I had work to do, and as far as I am concerned, it’s (still...) doing that work just fine right now, with absolutely no effort on my part.

And, full disclosure, I am a freakin' software consultant and developer by trade. Even so, I very frankly find myself at a loss for business motivations to do anything whatsoever at all with regard to Lion or its Mountain successor.   What i-s “in it for m-e?”
