This was an easy OS upgrade, but I have two complaints nevertheless:

1. App Store had problems loading this morning - I could tell they were hit hard, and certain elements both on the App Store featured page and the Lion page didn't load until I retried a few times.

2. There was a scary moment for me when I was upgrading this morning. After reboot, I saw four options. These were the top two (I cannot remember the rest):

* Restore from backup

* Install OS X (and in gray, smaller text under "Upgrade to Lion")

Apple could have done a better job here: they should have been able to detect that I was in the update flow and put "Install OS X" first. They also should have said "Upgrade to Lion" instead of "Install OS X". Seeing restore first and install second, I assumed something went terribly wrong.

Agreed. Seems the second option (to upgrade OSX) should've been the first option, and the wording needed to be changed.

The "Upgrade" wording would have assured me it wasn't going to do anything crazy like wiping my hard disk.
