You'll pardon me if I meet that with some skepticism. Both my work-issued and personal laptops are Core 2 Duos, both run Lion just fine. The same is true for everyone else in my office: same model MBPs, same OS, no issues in upgrading.

What do you use the machines for ?

I know atleast three people who tried upgrading to lion, found their system to be laggy, went back and did a clean install.

Why are we missing the point here? When people talk about Android fragmentation, they usually mean different screen sizes, resolutions, and GPUs. All of which are also fragmented amongst machines running OSX.

I don't care what most people mean (if that is what they really mean!). They can be as clueless as the author of the G+ post!

I call Android fragmented, for many reasons; including different screen sizes, different input methods & (most importantly) not being able to upgrade to the latest version without your phone manufacturer's blessing (which in most cases doesn't happen, or happens 6 months later).
