Here are some of the features users of OSX Lion will have to look forward to.

The Mac App Store allows you to purchase and download apps directly to your Mac.



Gain instant access to all the applications installed on your Mac, simply by clicking the Launchpad icon on the Dock.



Mission Control gives you a birds eye view of what is running on your Mac.



Gestures and Animations have been given a complete overhaul in Lion. You can look forward to rubber-band scrolling, page and image zoom, and full-screen swiping.

Resume speeds up the whole process of restarting your Mac after an update. Rather than having to Save and Close everything, the current state of your desktop is restored to how it was before.



By creating different Versions of a document each time you open it and every hour while you’re working on it, Lion ensures your progress is saved.



AirDrop lets you share files wirelessly with people around you without having to configure everything before hand. Airdrop searches for other Airdrop users in your vicinity.

File Vault keeps all your important data safe with XTS-AES 128 data encryption at the disk level.
