Will you first need to buy Snow Leopard to upgrade to Lion?
Abstract: Apple has finally unleashed OS X 10.7 Lion, the revamped operating system for the company's desktops and laptops. Lion is the latest in a string of major OS revisions released over the past 11 years, and this newest cat borrows some tricks from Apple's...
Abstract: Installing Lion is fairly straightforward, and kind of revolutionary, assuming you're already running an up-to-date version of Snow Leopard: just open the Mac App Store, hit buy, and watch it download. Some time later, depending on how fast you can move 3...

After a long period of relative stability on the Mac, Lion is a shock to the system. It's a radical revision, motivated in part by the vast influx of new Mac users coming to the platform from iOS, that makes the Mac a friendlier computer. Veteran Mac ...
Abstract: Apple hasn't exactly paid a ton of attention to Mac OS X since the iPhone came out. There, I said it. This was obvious even in the lead-up to Leopard in 2007, when Apple delayed that OS's release from a spring timeframe to October so that they could ...
Abstract: Mac OS X 10.7 was first shown to the public in October 2010. The presentation was understated, especially compared to the bold rhetoric that accompanied the launches of the iPhone ("Apple reinvents the phone") and the iPad ("a magical and revolutiona...
Time-saving multitouch gestures, Helpful Mission Control view, Several apps run at full screen, Smarter email search, Auto Save adds peace of mind, iOS-like Launchpad for apps, AirDrop makes sharing files locally a breeze
Can't close apps or search from within Mission Control, Dock could use a makeover, Using new gestures requires learning curve, Must manually exit search to return to inbox in Mail
There's no doubt that Apple is on a roll with Mac sales, and it's not just the shiny and slim notebooks that have allowed the company to enjoy growth at the expense of many Windows laptop makers. It's how the software and hardware work together, such a...
Abstract: In a decade, Mac OS X evolved from a curious hybrid of the classic Mac OS and the NextStep operating system to a mainstream computer operating system used by millions. It was a decade of continual refinement, capped by the bug-fixing, internals-tweakin...
Easier to use and more powerful than ever. Tabletstyle features include automatic filesaving and resume. Multiple versions of documents saved automatically. Effortless integration with online services like Google and Yahoo. Views and prints Microsoft O...
No support for old PowerPCplatform apps. Distractingly cute interface on calendar and address book.
Polishes the corners of Mac OS X: AirDrop, Resume, AutoSave, fullscreen mode and upgraded Mail app are winning additions. Apple's visions of a future awash in gesturebased input devices, and the language we'll use when we get there, are being mapped out i
Most of the iPadlike gestures don't translate eloquently to the desktop. Our brains aren't prepared to flip the script on scrolling. New Launchpad feature is confusing on Macs with larger screens. Mission Control is ugly; bring back Exposé

End of Rosetta supportSome program incompatibilitySnow Leopard required for installation
If Apple's end game is a complete shift away from the personal computer, Lion feels like a transitional operating system -- one that hasn't quite sealed the deal. After all, even though 250 features sounds like an impressively round number, most of the of...
