Much nicer!
Always thought that System Profiler never was up to Apple's standards of UI. Glad to see an overhaul, even if it is only for the most basic info.

Odd, when i open about this mac and then more info it show your app.
When i go to applications -> utilities -> system information, it just shows the old view!

That's supposed to be like that. System Information is just System Profiler renamed. About this Mac is the one that got remodeled.
I figured, it's just that the topic starter formulated his title a bit differently
There's a whole bunch of screen-capturing apps that do it for you automatically. I use Realmac Software's LittleSnapper. Pretty neat.
If you click on 'Memory Upgrade Instructions' does it tell you how to solder new memory to your MacBook Air?
Other people have mentioned apps, you really don't need any.
Press Apple(Command) + Shift + 4
then press the spacebar over the window you want to capture, the image will appear on your desktop with the nice backdrop etc.

Currently, the page is non-existent. No wonder.
Cmd+Shift+3 = whole desktop screenshotGreat! I usually just used Command+Shift+4 to select the image. Thanks for the help!
Cmd+Shift+4+Space = screenshot of any specific window, menu bar, Dock or wallpaper you want
Cmd+Shift+4 = rectangular screenshot of anything
On SL you can use TinkerTool to set the screenshot image file format to PNG and you can also tell the system, that it should include shadows in screenshots. I think it works also on Lion.
