Hi, i would like to share my experience:

 

I updated my Hackintosh OSX Lion Dp2 version to OSX Lion Gm/retail easily and with no loss of all my applications and data.

 

Here as i proceded ...

 

I have an Hackintosh Intel Core2 duo well running OSX Lion dp2 version 11A480b

 

I created my USB pen installation from OSX Lion GM

(extract installESD.dmg , copy packages , copy OSinstall.Mpkg for MBR, ecc, put Chameleon 2.0 RC5 -755 on it , put extra Kext , ecc. on USB pen)

 

I booted my OSx Lion pen and install over my previous partition LION (MBR because i have also WinXp).

I reboot and all my data and applications were where i left them ...

 

I haven't recreated my account ( i used the previous one ) and all my Desktop settings were just fine...

 

Then with monolingual i deleted ~ 500 Mb of unused languages ...

 

From 11A480 to 11A511 - like a charm ... :rolleyes:
