OS X Lion will be priced at $29.99 and available only on the Mac App Store as a 4 GB download, allowing users to pay once and install it on all of their machines, just like all Mac App Store apps.
Upcoming operating system, Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion.” Lion will be available in July for $29.99, keeping with the upgrade pricing started with OS 10.6 “Snow Leopard,” while developers will get an updated preview version now.
OS X Lion brings a number of improvements to OS X, many of which users have been clamoring for. For one, system-wide auto save will be rolled into the operating system, so you won’t have to worry about losing an old version of a document, or work in a document only to lose your changes to a crash. Users will also be able to reboot/resume, which means they can restart their Macs and have all of their running applications open and waiting for them when their system is back up, exactly the way they were when they shut it down.
Apple also went out of their way to introduce features that blur the lines between iOS and Mac OS. Launchpad will give you a very iOS-style look at all of the apps on your system and allow you to click any of them to initiate a launch. Mission Control and Spaces will work together to give users Expose on steroids, giving you not just a view of all open applications, but all windows and running processes, and the power to jump directly to whatever you want to work on next.
All of this will be rolled into Apple’s new Mac App Store, which will be built-in to OS X Lion, osx lion, icloud, ios 5, apple, ios5. Lion will only be available for download via the App Store, so don’t expect to see copies on the shelf at your local Apple Store.
