1. Full-screen applications
Numerous bundled applications now support full-screen modes to help remove distractions when working. You can swipe instantly between full-screen apps using a gesture on the mouse or Magic Trackpad.
2. New Mail application
Apple has updated the bundled mail application for OS X 10.7. It now more closely resembles the Mail app on the iPad, and adds support for a conversation view that groups together replies to the same message chronologically. A new full-screen mode removes distractions when writing.
3. AirDrop
AirDrop is a new feature that allows direct wireless file transfers over wi-fi between two Mac computers, even if they aren't connected to a wi-fi network. When activated a secure 'ad-hoc' connection is created between to computers, though both must be running OS X 10.7 for it to work.
4. Autosave and Versions
Autosave continually saves changes you make to documents as you make them, removing the need to ever manually save files. Versions saves multiple snapshots of work as you go along, allowing you to view your current version and old versions side-by-side to see the differences and revert to previous drafts.
5. Easier migration from Windows
OS X 10.7 Lion has a new migration tool for people who are switching from Windows to Mac. It will transfer documents, contacts, calendars, email accounts (Outlook and Windows Live Mail) and photos stored in Picasa over your home network, adding them to the appropriate applications in OS X.
