AppleInsider StaffPeople familiar with the latest beta of Lion 10.7.2 said it is known as build 11C43 and carries no known issues. Developers have reportedly been asked to focus on AirPort, AppKit, GraphicsDrivers, iCal, iChat, the Mac App Store, Mail, Spotlight and Time Machine.
Beta builds of Mac OS X are meant for testing purposes only, and are available to members of the Mac Developer Program. The last major update to Lion came just last week in the form of Mac OS X 10.7.1, packing fixes for Wi-Fi reliability, HDMI output resolutions, and optical audio output.
The last beta build of Mac OS X 10.7.2 was issued to developers this Monday. It came along with iCloud beta 8, and similarly on Friday, the new build of 10.7.2 debuted alongside iCloud for Lion beta 9.
iCloud for OS X Lion beta 9 is an add-on installer for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion that adds in-development iCloud functionality to Macs for developers.
Apple released Lion via the Mac App Store on July 20, quickly selling more than a million copies in 24 hours. According to one analyst, Mac sales got a 26 percent boost in July from Lion's launch and the release of updated MacBook Airs and Mac Minis.

Is anyone even using Lion yet? - in an every day production sort of environment that is.
I mean, there are still millions of people waiting for drivers and bug fixes for Snow Leopard. \
Leopard is still the largest used Mac OS.

I wouldn't recommend production environments upgrade but for the rank and file consumer Lion is being upgraded to at a much faster rate than Snow Leopard and when iCloud hits this rate will see a big boost.

Can you back that up?

Just from some blog articles and random reports from tech-zines, and our own internal metrics.
The Omni link provided above is their own test for their super high-tech audience. So one can expect their user base as early adopters.
One thing can be agreed on - Mac OSX user base is fractured.
Snow Leopard is starving for drivers and performance. So production environments haven't migrated.
Lion pretty much requires people to run out and buy all new peripherals. So adoption will be slow in certain industry segments - if at all.
There is no clear road-map for OSX like there is for iOS.
SJ giving the middle finger to professionals hasn't sat well with the market either.
The casual consumer market is exploding thou.
Here is hoping that Cookie doesn't have the same disdain for industry that SJ had.
