[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1377215, member: 24098"] 10.7.3 is out. Make sure you get your updates. Safari always defaults downloads to the Downloads folders, no matter what. If you don't like this behavior, I'd recommend looking at other browsers like Chrome, Firefox, etc. Older versions of Mac OS X had an emulator called Rosetta that enabled running PPC apps. Apple abandoned Rosetta and therefore it's not possible to run those apps on 10.7 (Lion). Control+f2 shifts focus to the menu bar and from there you can use your cursor keys to navigate it as you would in Windows. And of course, your keyboard shortcuts work the same, providing that you remember them. If you have your function keys defaulted, you may need to do Fn+Control+F2 to activate that function (by default function keys are set to control things like brightness, Mission Control and volume - you can toggle this setting in the keyboard options). It depends on what kind of programs you intend to run. Parallels/VMWare, etc are great for just about everything except games. If you want to run games or anything that needs heavy 3D acceleration, then Parallels isn't the right solution. Now, it could also be that you simply didn't allocate enough resources to the VM. But that's easily rectified. In my view, VMWare is the better product, but your mileage may vary.
