Apple has allowed a neak peek at its up and coming OS X 10.7, dubbed 'Lion', which is to be inspired by many of Apple's iPad innovations.
The peek previewed just some of Lion's features, including the Mac App Store, which will allow users to easily find and install desktop apps, and Launchpad, a system to make it easier to launch apps. Lion will also have feature Mission Control, a new way of navigating your system, allowing a unified view of open windows, open apps and the dock.
"Lion brings many of the best ideas from iPad back to the Mac, plus some fresh new ones like Mission Control that Mac users will really like," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Lion has a ton of new features, and we hope the few we had time to preview today will give users a good idea of where we are headed."
There's no set release date for Lion as yet, but Apple is hinting at sometime around mid-2011.
