I think your information may be flawed
I read that most of the MacBook Pros made in 2010 won't upgrade properly to Lion 10.7.2 because of the video card. Is this true??? Do I have to wait for the next version of Lion?

There were reports of a bad nVidia driver in the initial Lion release, but haven't heard much since, so I would assume somewhere between 10.7-10.7.2, they fixed it. Think it only affected the 330m chipset at that.

It might take hours to upgrade to Lion if you have a fairly slow Internet connection. Or if you just HAD to be one of the first people to get a copy when it was released, so the servers were overloaded. Or plenty of other scenarios that basically boil down to people mistakenly equating one thing to another.
