I hope to do a more comprehensiveness review later. I have been playing with the beta for a while and am mostly pleased with the direction of OS X. Not surprisingly given the success of Apple’s mobile platform, they have taken quite a few elements from iOS and moved them to the desktop. There are new Multi-touch gestures and scroll works like the iPad/iPhone. There is a clear push to full-screen apps, creating a more immersive experience, similar to iOS. And of course, the auto resume/save function which also echos the iOS task management system is a welcome change.
I will say, right now this is more of an evolutionary update than revolutionary. But at $30, it is priced right. That said, come Fall, once iOS 5 and iCloud (underpinnings for which are built into Lion, and won’t likely be available to snow leopard) are released, Lion will be a must have if you are an iPad/iPhone user.
Comprehensiveness — you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
@miked22 I hope I’m not feeding a troll, but I’m pretty sure it means: of large scope; covering or involving much; inclusive… Are you trying to say I am using the word incorrectly since I said I hope to do a “more comprehensive review later”? The idea being that by saying [more] I’m implying that this post is itself comprehensive, which it clearly isn’t? A search of my site fails to reveal any evidence that I “keep” using the word comprehensiveness incorrectly, or the root comprehensive (which is what I actually used in the post). In fact the only hit I could find for either word was in this post. Of course by pointing that out I’m probably just being pedantic. And isn’t it sardonic…don’t you think
A little too sardonic…and, yeah, I really do think…
I’m like 2 operating systems behind lion. Is that baby sea lion?
