Absolutely will be. If the reported speed increase is even half that of the jump from leopard to snow leopard, then it's well worth more than $30Joel said:Will you guys be 'upgrading' to OSX Lion when it comes out?
I'm not sure if I'll want to yet, I'd like to give it a run through first.

There are significant security enhancements as well, including improved ASLR and application sandboxing. That, along with the speed increase, is worth it alone.Wirelessly posted (Hivemind: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3_3 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8J2 Safari/6533.18.5)

Is that so they have time to iron out the bugs etc?Once 10.7.1 is out, most likely.
It's no different than Dropbox, or anything else that syncs to mobile devices. You don't have to sync stuff if you don't want to. I downloaded 12 albums today after the announcement, but I made sure I was on wifi first.The wireless carriers are gonna LOVE this... what better way to burn through your monthly data than to have EVERYTHING uploaded to the cloud automatically, all the time?
I wonder if Apple will have any deals in place with the iPhone carriers to allow free access to iCloud on their networks. If not, i can't see it catching on.
Yeah, I'm not keen on .0 of anything, even OS X. I did with Snow Leopard, and was fine. But I prefer to wait a little bit. I might actually see if I can dual boot SL and Lion, because I'll need to test it anyway.I was really surprised at how reasonable the price was:yesway:. I read on Engadget before that it's only going to be available from the App Store, gone are the days of anything physical, like a disk.

How is this legal?f you want all the benefits of iTunes in the Cloud for music you haven't purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution. It lets you store your entire collection, including music you've ripped from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes. For just $24.99 a year.2
Here's how it works: iTunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. Any music with a match is automatically added to your iCloud library for you to listen to anytime, on any device. Since there are more than 18 million songs in the iTunes Store, most of your music is probably already in iCloud. All you have to upload is what iTunes can't match. Which is much faster than starting from scratch. And all the music iTunes matches plays back at 256-Kbps iTunes Plus quality - even if your original copy was of lower quality
Dunno, but apparently Apple forked over something like 150 million to the record companies to make nice.
It gives you the ability to sync what you've ripped to iCloud, so if you're away from your computer and want to download something that you've ripped, you can. I'm certainly not saying it's for everyone, but it's worth 7 cents a day to have that feature.:luddite:
I dunno Jeff. I know $25 isnt a lot of money but I'll be damned if I am going to spend extra to listen to music I already purchased just to store it somewhere where i might not even have access to it (the cloud)
What is the appeal of this? Does it help PEBKAC people that cant rip cds and/or synch their music library to their device
