Mac OS X Lion

Apple has shipped Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, the latest version of the Mac OS. This release builds in the very powerful and stable Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. New features in Lion include:

• Versions - automatic versioning of your documents on all support applications
• Full Disk Encryption - No more does File Vault limit itself to a user folder and incompatibility with Time Machine. You can now encrypt your entire hard drive
• Multi-touch gestures - Lion has new ways to navigate your system taking cues from your iOS devices
• Full-Screen Apps - Lion provides the ability to run applications full screen to avoid distractions and take complete advantage of the available screen area
• Mission Control - Lion bundles Dashboard, Exposé and Spaces into a single interface that gives you a full overview of what is happening on your system
• Mac App Store - Introduced with Snow Leopard earlier in 2011, the App Store is now integral and the preferred method of purchasing software for your Mac
• Launchpad - Learning from the iOS interface, Launchpad shows all available applications on your Mac on a grid, just like your iPhone or iPad making it easy to find and organize in folders
• Resume - Applications that have been updated to support Lion can now resume where you left off. You no longer have to save as they are automatically saved all the time. When you quit and relaunch or even restart your Mac, starting the app up once again will bring you to the same place you left off
• AirDrop - a quick and easy way to transfer files between Lion computers. Simple and fast
• Mail - Apple Mail has been dramatically improved to make better use of screen real estate, conversations shows your messages in an optimized intuitive view, search suggestions and search tokens help you find information faster
• Lion Server - Lion Server is now an additional download that can be added to any copy of Lion
