For those used to using an iPad and iPhone, the OS X Lion gestures will come more naturally but for others, there will be some learning to do, although there are some excellent video tutorials included in the new Trackpad preferences pane. To take advantage of the many new finger gestures to navigate OS X however, ideally you'll need either a MacBook Pro with Magic Trackpad or an external Trackpad (around $69) although a Magic Mouse will also suffice. The biggest change however is far closer integration with iOS, the operating system of the iPhone and iPad. According to Apple, OS X Lion comes with more than 250 improvements and new features although many of these are minor tweaks. This means you will have problems running applications like Quicken 2007, Microsoft Office 2008 and other apps which supported Power PC Macs - PPC support is gone forever in OS X Lion.
If you're still using OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard don't forget to - some older applications simply won't work on OS X Lion due to Apple's decision to drop Rosetta support. Lion, coming just 18 months after the release of Snow Leopard OS X 10.6, was the first OS X to bring the Mac closer to the iPhone's and iPad's iOS operating system, making full use of Trackpads and gestures to use your Mac. OS X Lion 10.7 has now been superseded by OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
