It's been tried and apparently it won't work. Mail 5 has some new animations that rely on new Lion APIs, or so I've read. The same is true of Address Book and iCal.
OS X 10.7 Developer Preview

It's going to cost $129, the usual Mac OS X price save for 10.1 (free) and 10.6 ($29.) Of course, as Mac OS X lacks product keys or activation, there's nothing to stop you from just downloading it somewhere and burning it to a DVD.
I'll be getting it for free anyway, legally, through an Apple-authorised channel.

Yes, my MacBook was upgraded directly from 10.6.6 to 10.7. Haven't experienced any major issues yet.

What sort of bugs did you encounter? What software is confirmed not to be working?

There are bugs related to Mission Control, fullscreen apps, Dashboard and the Dock. At least, these are the major ones I've found so far.

Whilst I am aware of this workaround, I probably won't apply it because it could break something else.

Are Apple Computers any good, I've never purchased one before, if there good which one would you guys recommend for internet browsing and playing games?

If you want to play semi-serious games and normal browsing you could go for something like an for the MBP 15-inch: 2.0 GHz, if you want serious you can go for the 15-inch: 2.2 GHz model. And if you're looking for a desktop I'd suggest going for an iMac, either the 21.5-inch: 3.2GHz or the 27-inch: 2.8GHz. I'd love to game on my MBP but it doesn't really cut it more than WoW and some simple games (I got the entry levle MBP). But as soon as I have the money I'm willing to spend some good money on the latest models to get something I can simply just work with and enjoy OS X plus game with it. Since also Apple has been focusing on improving OpenGL lately.

How come iMac's dont come with a big box like normal PC's do or is the computer built into the monitor?

If you want to play a game don't buy a Mac!
Mac and mostly OS X are great for work but they kind of sux at games.....
Games that are 2 years old (example: Call of Duty 4) are promoted as new in the Mac world
You better off building yourself a custom PC if you are planning to play NEW games and save yourself a few dollars.
Other than that Macs are great

Nah. I'm a paying member, but my university has some great software available to every student for free or at cheap prices. I have a copy of office 2007, 2010, and 2011 (Mac, Windows, Mac) as well as Windows 7. I paid for none of those. I bought Parallels Desktop for $10.
Nice. I wonder what UCLA offers?
