Are you an early adopter?

With the launch of Mac OS X Lion, there are many who will be using up their monthly download limit to get the new beast on their machines.  And with the update being available on the Mac App Store, it doesn’t even mean people have to find the time to head on down to their local Apple retailer to upgrade.

The question remains, however, how many of us are early adopters?  Those who rush out and grab something just because it’s new.

A more interesting point that is coming out at this point, though, is how many are late adopters.  Those who are still running OS X Leopard, who are now needing to upgrade to OS X Snow Leopard, in order to get the Mac App Store, in order to get Lion!

Will it mean that OS X Snow Leopard is the most installed but not used version of OS X ever?  Thousands of people installing it, just to upgrade from Leopard to Lion.

I’ll let you know when I upgrade… Looking at my schedule, however, I won’t be an early adopter.
