The listed features include a few screenshots, though they are of reduced resolution like the images below, and they offer a broad view of everything you can expect to find in Lion when it is released in July from the Mac App Store for US$29.
In the image below you can see Mission Control, Apple’s new tool for managing applications and open windows, which are featured in the middle section of the screen, and Spaces, the virtual desktop tool for OS X, which are shown in the top row. Users can drag applications to and from different Spaces, switch between Spaces, or switch between different apps and windows in Mission Control.

In the image below, Apple is demonstrating Versions, the new document version tracking feature in Lion. Like Time Machine for system-wide backups, Versions allows users to view all of his or her saves for any particular file. The current version is on the left, while all of the saved versions are on the right, stretching out into the horizon.
With Versions, users can revert back to a previous version of a file or cut and paste between the current version and past versions.
