Alongside today's release of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Developer Preview 2, Apple also seeded the first pre-release version of OS X 10.7.4 to developers for testing. The release arrives as Build 11E27.
Apple has reportedly asked developers to focus their testing efforts on Address Book, Graphics, iCal, Mail and Printing in the new build, which also contains one documented known issue related to playing purchased iTunes content through QuickTime.
A separate pre-release version of OS X Server 10.7.4 is also available.

It seems Apple has their way and no one else, regardless of the market and logic, is able to convince them otherwise. This may have worked in the past, but if this keeps up...
But seriously, I agree that it's ridiculous the amount of problems Lion still has. Fortunately, Mountain Lion fixes quite a few (performance-related, at least). Unfortunately, that isn't free.
I was thinking in this direction as well - Leopard was cool to me as it was the OS on my first ever Mac - but then I got Snow Leopard and I really got happy!
There are lots of things that personally work for me in Lion, but it lacks the finish that SL gave Leopard
In a way, but Leopard was pretty well baked by the time Snow Leopard came around. Lion is still not as stable as it should be.
