OS X Lion

So we have another animal about, 10.7 Lion operating system. Mac OS X Lion has been downloaded more than one million times in its first day of release which is quite impressive. Lion is the first Mac OS X release to be available exclusively through the Mac App Store, really love this idea as I don’t have to travel to Westfield or Oxford Street Apple store or even order online, nice touch!

There are a number of changes made to the GUI (Graphical User Interface) which include the Launchpad (similar to the home screen of iOS devices), auto-hiding scrollbars that only appear when they are being used, and Mission Control, which unifies Exposé, Spaces, Dashboard, and full-screen applications within a single interface.Apple also made changes to the applications: they resume in the same state as they were before they were closed (similar to iOS). In addition to this, documents auto-save by default so users don’t have to worry about manually managing their documents which is definitely very helpful.

Here is a list of all previous OS X operating systems:
