The MacRumors website has published a sampling / summary of early Lion reviews.
David Pogue of the NY Times comments in part, "The Lion upgrade, in other words, is classic Apple: innovative to some, gimmicky to others, big leaps forward, a few stumbles back."
Walter Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal observes, "Lion is very different. It’s a big leap, and gives the Mac a much more modern look and feel for a world of tablets and smartphones. If you are willing to adjust, it’s the best computer operating system out there."
