Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Developer Preview Update 1 is out

where can i download whole update file of 1gb??
rather than software update..

"The update follows recent reports that Apple was set to deploy a GOLDEN MASTER release of the operating system, which means that the feature set for Lion could be close to being CAST IN STONE."

Besides the poor research done for this posting as pointed out repeatedly already, mix your metaphors much?

Seems awful chintzy to go from gold to stone, don't you think? ;-)

And to be clear, whereas several other sites are accurately reporting that what Apple released was Mac OS X 10 Lion Developer Preview 2 (often including a screenshot from Apple's developer site to show authenticity), you have a title which reads "Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Developer Preview Update 1 is out".

I know this is just a blog, and there's an awful lot of inbreeding among news sources, both online and in traditional media. But please, TRY at least do fact checking and proofreading before posting. It's these kinds of misinformed posts that do neither you nor TUAW any justice. You're better than this.

I'm willing to bet the bank that 10.7 comes out in a $120 retail box with included USB drive or $60 download from the App Store. Justa' Hunch...

There's actually a whole new release. It's now in beta. Techcruch who reported Apple would go straight to GM now say that this beta is really GM1.

I played around with the Lion preview for a few days on a 2010 Macbook Air. Suffice to say, its cool..... but there's a LOT of work that needs to be done on it. The full disk encryption works really well, and to me that's the biggest feature, but a lot of little things aren't working right now. Many applications I rely on every day like Steam and Windows Live Mesh either keep freezing or never start up.

I think Apple needs to continue working on the gestures, because the defaults from Snow Leopard and the defaults on Lion Preview are different enough to annoy a lot of people. The scrolling inertia has changed and I feel I have to do more work to scroll the same distance. The "reverse scrolling" gesture mimics iOS on the iPad, but doesn't translate well to a trackpad (move down on the trackpad to scroll up on the screen, and vice versa). On an iPad, its like you're flicking a piece of paper around to move it around within a window. After years of training my brain how to use a trackpad on both Windows PCs and Macs, having that flipped around by default is just screwy. Luckily, you can turn that off.

Then, there are just things that don't work at all. I can't access the recovery partition or use rEFIt to install Windows from a USB key in boot camp if I have enabled disk encryption, for example, not even on the hidden EFI partition. If I turn off encryption and run Boot Camp, Windows will refuse to install on the partition it creates even after formatting to NTFS. The list goes on and on.

Don't get me wrong - I actually like where Apple is going with Lion, and hope the final version will be much more polished and feature complete. I just have a feeling there's going to be several months of pain for early adopters while 3rd parties get their apps updated to work properly on the new OS.

As Travis mentioned, the update Apple is pushing out through SU (which is only for systems running Lion) is only to enable the redemption of the code Apple supplies developers in the App Store.

Once you've redeemed the code you'll need to download the full 3.7GB installer.

"The update follows recent reports that Apple was set to deploy a Golden Master release of the operating system, which means that the feature set for Lion could be close to being cast in stone."

Quite the opposite. This update should put paid to the incredibly silly report that Apple would go directly from an initial Developer Preview to a Gold Master. Clearly Apple is proceeding along the well worn path of all previous OS development.

Actually I believe you are wrong. You need to install an update from Software Update first. Then Restart. Then go to the Dev Center and get a redeem code. Then go to the Mac App Store, redeem said code and download.
