Uninstalling Lion...
#2
If you have a time machine backup prior to the 10.7 upgrade, you can restore to it.
Else, you'll have to nuke and pave the machine and install from 10.6 media, assuming the machine supports it.
If it's a brand new machine with the thunderbolt bus, and it came with 10.7 out of the box, it is difficult to install an older OS on it, and thunderbolt will not work if you do.
Not sure why you't want to do that and effectively remove yourself from the update path, but...

I'm curious as per what a bunch of you guys seem to not be liking about it...?
Personally, I'm absolutely addicted to it, primarily due to new found multitasking abilities via the ability to create multiple 'desktops'.

That pertains to the pre-release beta on a separate partition, and has no bearing on a system installed directly to Lion or upgraded from 10.6.
As to Lion itself, it does have a few things that "aren't quite finished yet", to be kind, but it's a major release. Once 10.7.2 is released, the majority of the current issues will be solved.
The major changes in workflow in some of the apps can easily be reverted to their previous behaviors if you prefer them that way (I certainly do with Mail, etc).

Lion is great but there are bugs and it freezes up on certain websites (Teamspeed for example) using Safari or Chrome...
Oddly it seems to be running just a bit slower too...I even ran a virus check last night but nothing was found.

Open activity monitor (Apps -> Utilities) and click the "System Memory" tab. Take a look at "Page ins", "Page outs", and "Swap used". If those numbers are large (say over 500 MB), you may want to consider installing some more memory.
Further, if you look at the process list and order by "Real Mem"or "Virtual Mem" you will see what is sucking up the resources. Almost certainly Mail, Safari / Safari Web Content and mds (spotlight).
