Thank you Jasoco!
Thank you for the videos Jasoco! (I really like the music in them by the way, ignore what others say, its nice to see others who like movie soundtracks).
Some of the features I am excited about is:
1. Mission Control. I am a multitask monster who uses a lot of spaces and such this is a nice upgrade from Expose.
2. Group in Finder. This is a huge convenience even if it is just small. I generate a ton of files in the work I do and this is a nice feature to help me quickly group everything. (I know people will say "But can't you make a folder before hand and save everything in it??" Well, we all work differently and sometimes I don't know where the files I make will be grouped.)
3. Versions. This is great too! This would be very nice in XCode where sometimes I will have large sections of code commented incase something doesn't work right I can copy it back in. With versions, I wouldn't have to worry about that.
I'm really excited about this and I really enjoyed the videos. Too bad I have to wait until programs like Maya, Photoshop, Houdini, ZBrush, Corel Painter, Unity, and a few others are compatible with Lion before upgrading (Although I can upgrade my air if I really want too...)

I'm just not impressed much by Lion. It seems like I'm losing some features, like Rosetta, for a bunch of iOS-related things that don't interest me (though I'm sure they interest other people, just like I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't use Rosetta much). I'll probably skip this kitty and hope for better features in the next one.
Of course it's still a work in progress, so it could get some amazing changes between now and release, and if it does I'll eat my words and buy it

No. Good music deserves better than that low fi, over compressed trash that YouTube spits out.

Sublime; fast; fantastic; amazing; insanely great!
Having a developer seed of it I can tell you it's the greatest OS I've ever used in my life! It's already won 5 or 6 awards including "2012 OS Of The Year!"
And the scrolling change was a fantastic idea on Apple's part! It's time we updated Mac OS X to be on par with its super-advanced sister OS, iOS! Mac OS X was starting to seem long in the tooth! It was starting to feel like I was using Classic! LOL

I don't agree -- I find that my Dock just gets smaller and smaller with Apps as I put more and more down there. It would nice to have quick access to all of my apps with Launch Pad and keep the REALLY important apps in the dock so that there is not such a glut down there.
Also, Launch Pad isn't for you — no one said you have to use it — it's obviously a way to bring familiarity to Switchers who have the iPad. Apple is using this Back to the Mac feature list as a way to stear iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch users to their platform. Ingenious, actually.
I grabbed the video from youtube with Grappler from the Little App Factory.
You could not be more wrong.rydewnd2 regarding Launch Pad said:
Newbie. Have you ever seen Pogue's "The Missing Manual" for OS X? About 2-inches thick. OS X has been complicated for a loooonnnng time.

It is mostly faster than the App-Folder, also you can quickly add folders without having to open the finder.
LaunchPad is one of Apple's tent pole features for Lion. No way it's getting pulled. I'd be very surprised if it did.
Hi,
this 1st part does not work in Germany "This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment. It is not available in your country."
... the second does
From what I've seen & understand Spaces & Expose has been integrated into Mission Control which looks much more efficient overall. Or am I missing something?
How can you judge something that isn't finished?
You do realize this is a developer preview right and not a completed OS?
Although I haven't used it yet, it seams totally useless for me. It may help iOS users but for me is just another not needed icon in the dock waiting for removal.
Lion seems much better than Snow Leopard so far.

I'm not liking the new spaces at all. It's going backwards. Being able to initiate spaces via a corner of my screen and getting a 3x3 grid is perfect for the way I manage my work, one space per mind for me.
I can't see why spaces still can't have the grid feature alongside mission control, they don't HAVE to be the one thing do they?

WWDC Date
June 7: http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/
It makes me feel better about a possible release date for Lion too.

Did you watch in 720p? The music is higher quality if you choose better video quality.
Did you make sure to get the 720p version? It's the bestest one.
It's for when a server Kernel Panic's (I believe) so it'll reboot by itself instead of sit alone frozen. Say, you go on vacation for a week and your webserver crashes. Oops. Not home to reboot. Lost all those potential visitors. Dammit. If only there were a way to automatically reboot the computer without having to be around.
Nope. I think MC is Exposé+Spaces perfection.
Very nice looking, but will it be delivered on time as planned without any delays. That is my worry.
