Finally the new Big Cat "Lion" in Apple OSX family came out from the cage and roars loudly with new features to take OSX into next level.Apple bridged a gap between what’s been called mobile OS, (or in their case, iOS), and desktop OS, further turning what it means to own a computer with killer desktop experience.
Installation
Install Mac OSX Lion is so easy now , just go to Mac App Store and you can search "OSX Lion" then download the entire OS by just like an app from App Store.
Starting with Scrolling Gestures
When your computer starts for the first time after having had Lion fully installed, you’ll be able to see the window shows the demo about the entire scrolling gestures.Swipes between pages in PDF,Word
Mission Control , swipes up Three or Four Fingers to see many desktops
App Expose to switch between apps by swipes down Three or Four Fingers
Like iOS , you can see the page flow of installed Mac Apps by spread with thumb and Three or Four Fingers.
Multiple Desktops
In OSX Lion now you can able to create multiple desktops and each one of them with their own desktop wallpaper, open windows, docked apps, and open apps.
Dashboard
LaunchPad
When you see the Launchpad, you will instantly understand why this version of Mac OS is being called a bridge between Apple’s desktop operating system and mobile Apple’s iOS, as seen on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
Just like in iOS, you’re also able to take one app and place it atop another to create a folder with the two inside, this folder then up for additional apps in the future.
Misson Control
Mission Control is accessible by you by clicking the Mission Control icon in your dock, or by swiping three fingers upward on your trackpad.Another use you might consider for Mission Control and your multiple desktops is giving each member of your family a different desktop to work with.
Another great use of this Mission Control is make you WANT to use a lot of windows at once. which makes the best use of the operating system’s abilities.
Finder
“All My Files” is an File Explorer by being a separation of every single file you have on your computer in one place, separated by filetype and the Show All” button for each category, this being a viable option for me to separate videos.
AirDrop
AirDrop, an extremely simple system in which you can connect peer to peer with people running AirDrop on computers near you.Apple mentioned t this functionality works out to about 30 feet, this being the range of MacBooks can see one another. This system is not connected via Wi-fi, again, it’s peer to peer, meaning you don’t need the internet at all to make it work, just two Apple computers.
Spotlight
Spotlight desktop search to find anything and everything and this new iteration in Lion shows not only results on your computer aslo searches the webpages, music, web searches searches, and more. Mouse-over any result to see a preview.
Very simple and a very handy option for opening apps, browsing the web, and finding old emails.
Safari
Safari in Lion gets the new Scoop with Full screen and use a three finger to back and forth, or forward and backward.Instead of clicking the back button or the forward button, you have only to swipe with two fingers to the right or to the left.You can also able to pinch to zoom or double-tap to zoom.
Mail, Contacts & Calendars
iCal and iChat iCal get the giant boost once the iCloud is active and running, and iChat being promoted by the in-browser connection to your accounts is a massive potential plus.
Mail
Major UI change in Mail app with new search feature.
Contacts
Lot of change has happened to the functionality, again, of Address Book, but it looks a whole lot more enticing.
