I don't know if it was mentioned earlier, but Preview opens office files in Lion (I didn't have any powerpoint presentation but I tried it with an excel spreadsheet). I don't remember if this was present in earlier releases, but I think it's new.
Thanks for the links. It seams to be an Apple feature implementation problem. Will have to wait for the next beta.
That's pretty cool, does it work for all apps?
I like your background, if it's what I think it is
I know this is not the place but it is the most popular and the chance to get an answer is great so...Now I'm a Apple developer!!! wow!! I can't believe I paid U$ 99 for that!! and I'm downloading it already...but the download is not that fast...In fact is is sooooo f...ing slow...Is it normal? Judging for the speed it will last all nigh!!! Besides, it's download is quite different from usual. It's an iOS like...When it is complete where it is placed?...Can someone help here

It's a big download, around 3.5GB. Best bet is to leave it overnight like I did.
Autosave...?
Is it only me who thinks that the Autosave feature could make a lot of mess? On a daily basis I use many apps just to store/create/try some things temporarily. And then I just quit them! They ask me if I want to save changes and I just clik "no". With autosave I will end up with lots of unneded files, containing just some crappy temp things. Or what about editing a file and than realizing that "it's not it" and closing without saving? Is the original version lost? Could it be reverted thru Versions? What if the Versions are not implemented in app that I work in?
Is there any way of customization? Turning off? Or maybe it works in some other way? Maybe ovewriting doesn't occur?
Changing the subject - spotlight seems to have much larger icons. Don't like them. Any chance of going back to smaller ones in prefs?

Jesus!
Applications folder, probably on your Dock as well.
in Applications. I had to download it my wife's iMac, which runs Snow Leopard. It was not possible to download it on mine...don't know why...maybe because it was running Lion which I'd downloaded through Demonoid. I'm installing it at this moment!
Now I'm completely legal!...By the way PurrBall, do you know what advantages I have being a developer?

When did it go on Demonoid? I got my copy from TPB.
Well, if you're an actual Mac developer, you can dowload Xcode and various SDK's. If you bought an ADC account just for Lion, you'll get access to every developer build as well as the GM. And right now you can also download Snow Leopard and Snow Leopard Server.in Applications. I had to download it my wife's iMac, which runs Snow Leopard.

Firstly, autosave doesn't create explicit files (i.e things you see in the finder) by itself. You still have complete control over that.
If you create files and decide not to save and just quit the app, they will reappear upon launch. So if you do this a lot you'll have to get in the habit of closing windows.
Any time you save a file, you can access that point in time via versions. And any time you close a file, it is autosaved. So in this case, you'd want to use versions to go back in time, instead of the classic method of closing the unsaved file and reopening it.
If versions isn't implemented in a particular app, then the new autosaving won't be, either. It's all the same thing.
I hope that answers your questions.
Cursors have now been redrawn as vector objects, at least in places. They're still quite buggy and pixelated in some areas, though this will change in later builds.
Forgive me for asking, I have only used computers for about 20 years or so, in exactly what situation is this useful whatsoever?
That's an excellent point. I'd like to say that it shouldn't be changed, but can come up with absolutely no reasons why.
It's the way it's always been, it feels weird to change it.
thats awesome! Preview also opens office 2010 files and retains formatting better than TextEdit and iWork docs as well!
and @ SteveBallmer & TheMessenger
You can do that now with SL (prob been around a while) with drag/drop and spring loaded folders. When you are holding the file(s) over the desired destination, hold CMD to Cut/Paste. Alternatively hold OPT to Copy/Paste.
Square buttons
Sorry guys, but am I the only one with square selection buttons? Anyone?
