Description

OS X Lion is the next major release of OS X, the world’s most advanced desktop operating system. It includes over 250 new features that will transform how you interact with your Mac.  Tap, swipe, and scroll your way through your apps using fluid Multi-Touch gestures that make everything you do feel more natural and direct. Full-screen apps take advantage of every pixel of your display — perfect for reading email, surfing the web, or browsing photos. Launchpad gives you instant access to all the apps on your Mac in a stunning new layout where you can quickly find any app and open it with a single click. And Mission Control brings together Exposé, full-screen apps, Dashboard, and Spaces in one unified experience. With a gesture, your desktop zooms out, displaying a bird’s-eye view of everything running on your Mac and making it easy to navigate anywhere with a click.

Customer Reviews

Great release!

      

Mac OS X Lion brings awesome original and iOS-inspired features to your Mac! It was super easy to install via the Mac App Store! Here are my top three favorite features:

- AirDrop: the ability to share files instantly without any network setup!
- Mission Control: Expose, Spaces, and Dashboard combined into a more powerful window management system
- Full Screen Apps: pretty self explanatory, the full screen mode for iCal, Mail, and Terminal are great on smaller notebook screens

Faster boot - easy to install

     

OK - it launched at 08:30 EST, and I downloaded it via my work fiber 100MB internet connection. It downloaded in about 20 minutes, although it got slower as more people started downloading. I started another download from another computer, and it recognized that "I had already purchased", and let me download it again. Very slick and easy!

It took some getting used to.

     

For the first few minutes I was a little confused on the new multigestures as I used them a lot to move windows out of the way, use widgets, exposé and so on. However now I'm fully attuned to the changes and love it. Like the predictive text and the how holding down a letter gives access to accented options. Lovely edition. The bouncing is nice and the zooming is smooth. The name at the top right reminds me of Ubuntu Linux which is awesome for that was the OS I primarily used for years. Any ways, thank you so much for releasing excellent products and I fully intended on continuing to use them.
