Q: Reverting to Snow Leopard from Lion - easy!
I got sick of Lion in my MacBook Pro and went back to good old Snow Leopard.
It was SO easy!
I made a Carbon Copy Clone of my hard drive - Time Machine is no use for downgrading - and stuffed in my Snow Leopard disk.
I then followed Kappy's advice here - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3352492
Snow Leopard instal then automatically replaced all my info from the clone disk, it was so simple.
I can now use my Photoshop CS and Final Cut Studio again, which wouldn't work/instal with Lion.
I can "Save As" again - oh joy!
I no longer have yesterday's apps, docs and Safari tabs opening automatically every morning: that in itself will give me more productive hours every year.
No more searching between multiple desktops for my apps.
And the task bar pops up first time, every time - no more double-double tapping my mouse.
I am happy once again, my life is rich and fulfilled.
I LOVE SNOW LEOPARD!
