I'm not able to vote. May am I doing something wrong?

Hmmm. I thought maybe it was because I wasn't logged in, but that's not it. I still can't vote. I also get this "new users' comments..." note when I post. I've been a member of this site for years, so I don't know why that pops up now.

Also cannot vote. But then I would want to vote "Nothing about Lion makes much difference to me." Edited on Oct 21, '10 08:24:08AM by karog
Full screen applications is a new feature?
Full screen applications is a new feature? Seriously? I've been playing Wingnuts 2 for a couple of years in full screen. Started out using Parallels Desktop in full screen, too. Even after watching the Stevenote, I must be missing something because that doesn't sound like a new feature to me.

I really don't see "Full Screen Apps" as a new feature just because Lion will be optimized for them. Also the Mac App Store in launching in 2 months so it's not a new feature in Lion.

I think custom fields in Address Book would be pretty exciting…

My worry is that the Mac App Store could be the end of my Mac being the best creative tool I use. I don't want to work on a giant iPad/iPod Touch. ---

how is the App Store going to affect what you do with your computer?
New features of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
I don't think that the Mac App Store will ever be the exclusive source of software for Mac. It would defeat the purpose of having a full desktop OS and I think Apple knows that. There will always be the option to get applications other places or write them yourself. I do think that some corporate types would like to have the option of putting workers on what amounts to a big iPad linked to a local company version of the App Store. It would be great for security and control. I just don't think that kind of model is in Apple's thinking.

None of the above. I'm most excited about:

I guess the resume when launched idea probably came from Firefox, which can already do this. Unfortunately, it sounds like it could have a lot of potential for privacy violations because it has to keep track of what you're doing in order to accomplish the function. Now we standardize this at the OS level. Too many software companies have followed suit after Google and changed their policies to boil down to "Our privacy policy is that you have no privacy." For those few of us who do care about privacy, this gives us yet one more thing to disable.

Full screen applications are just full screen games where you achieve some real world goal.

Full disk encryption in File Vault is my choice. My employer requires full disk encryption, currently PGP Whole Disk, for all laptops. This isn't working very well because it breaks just about every update of OS X. Machines become unbootable and you have to use a recovery disk which takes hours to decrypt the drive, fix it and then re-encrypt.

It is working well. Your complete disk will be encrypted and you need to provide your pw prior to booting to decrypt it. Its integration is very nice.

I think the focus on animated UI features is a bit misdirected. I mean come on, most of the features in this poll are "accomplishable" on Snow Leopard today with the right set of third party software:

For me, the most interesting features are the Auto-Save, Versioning, and Resume. |
