![]() I’ll admit that I’ve warmed to Lion since its release ( I wasn’t a fan at the outset), but I still have yet to see Apple’s characteristic balance between the feast-for-the-eyes graphical interface and this-thing-reads-my-mind functionality. While many who criticize Lion cite bugs or performance issues, Lion’s interface design (which more closely resembles iOS than previous releases of OS X have) has also drawn criticism. While Leopard and Snow Leopard were quite widely accepted among users and critics alike, Lion has drawn a little more criticism. Lion has come under fire a little more than some of Apple’s previous system updates. Monthly growth is still in the black at 4.05 percent, but “Lion isn’t taking off the way some had anticipated,” says Cavanagh. “While we are seeing consistent monthly growth, Lion isn’t taking off the way some had anticipated.” ”Lion’s adoption rate has been less than stellar, to say the least,” Cavanagh added. ![]() suggests that issues such as Wi-Fi instability and poor battery performance on MacBook Pro models could be among the causes of hesitation among Mac users. A promising start, to be sure, but the kitty tired out pretty fast according to BGR: ![]() When released in July of this year, OS X Lion saw a million downloads in a single day (Apple made the OS exclusively available through the Mac App Store, so downloading was the only way to get it). Apple’s “most advanced” operating system, OS X 10.7, which is better known as Lion, saw great numbers on release day but has since settled into a very small part of OS traffic share with less than 1.5 percent of the pie.
