The Apple website mentions that there are over 250 new features in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. A list that large can be overwhelming.
Here are the top 5 reasons an upgrade to Lion is a good choice.
1) Lion is required for iCloud: Apple's new free (with Lion) iCloud service requires Lion to run. iCloud stores your music, photos, documents, and more and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices. Automatic, effortless, and seamless — it just works.
2) File Vault 2 Improves Security: Your entire hard drive can be safely encrypted, your data kept from prying eyes.
3) Time Machine Improvements: Time Machine backups continue even when you take your MacBook Air or Pro away from the office. When you return, your backups are synced and all is up-to-date.
4) Multi-Touch Gestures are Everywhere: OS X Lion brings you a new way to interact with your Mac. Tap, scroll, pinch, and swipe your way through your Mac with Multi-Touch gestures, directly controlling what’s on your screen.
5) Mail Conversations: Lion email has the ability to gather all messages on a given topic, both received and sent, into a single easy-to-read "string," making mail exchanges much easier to follow.
