Op-Pohjola announcement (in Finnish)

Apple has published a new Mac OS X 10.7 operating system (product name Lion) in July 2011.

However, Mac OS X 10.7 will not be used in Metropolia Mac computers until Adobe's CS5 and Microsoft's Office incompatibility problem's with the 10.7 system have been solved.

Since Adobe's CS5 and Microsoft's applications are the most important tools on Metropolia Mac computers, staff must not update their work computers on their own - and especially not any shared computers.

A shared license covering multiple Mac computers will be acquired for the Mac OS X 10.7 operating system just as soon as the operating system is ready to be used in instruction.

A wider deployment of the Mac OS X 10.7 will not take place until maybe Summer 2012.

If you think that you already need Mac OS X 10.7, please make service request at hd.metropolia.fi.
