I'm in a hotel, so the download will take longer than that for me. Been going for an hour so far and about 30% complete.

I do have a vm machine open with windows running connected to work VPN and streaming iPlayer Chris Moyles from this morning, so I'm not so desperate to get it I'm stopping other things!

20 minutes for the download and now 7 minutes from completion of the install.

I admit that I am sad, but this is quite exciting and only £21.00!!!

If you use a trackpad, the scrolling can be somewhat annoying

No, no percentage readout, just a bar below the Lion symbol.

With regards to the reverse trackpad scrolling, you can change it back to the way that it should be, thank god lol

If you go to the app store and click on purchased you can see the percentage.

Wow, quick install.

Oh the scrolling is irritating. The exact opposite of what you would expect.

Downloaded it at work and copied it over to my external drive, which will be coming home with me tonight.

Work machine won't be upgraded as I need to use Xcode 3.x, which isn't overly compatible with Lion

Still in two minds about installing it at home, but I've got a full TM backup of the machine so I can revert to SL if I need to. Think I might wait a couple of days though, see what issues pop up.

I must have done it was down in well under an hour on my 10meg cable.

Used to the Scrolling already, but it's catching me out occasionally, full screen browsing and mail with a quick flick between them is ace.

I'm on 10.31, not sure why probably as I'm still using the iPhone's built in tracking.

2 finger scroll for forward and back in full screen Safari is nothing short of stunning.

iTunes and iWork update available. Just updating my iPhone then I'll grab those. Using more bandwidth than most pirates today.

For those not enjoying the new scroll behaviour, jump into system prefs, then trackpad / mouse options and deselect the "direction of finger movement" option.
