Why are some Lion screenshots different than other ones?

Like cambookpro- Has Lion, but it looks like a regular OS X About This Mac screen. But then zildjansg has the new Lion screen?

Because the regular panel that appears when you click on " :apple: > about this mac " is pretty much the same as the old one, than if you click on the "more info..." button, it shows you the new style panel

Or they just like it..

I don't think that it's just because they like it. This would actually belittle all the work and effort that Apple designers put in their great work. In my opinion there's alway a reason behind Apple's design choices, because everything is studied with the highest attention and care for details, from the general look to the apparently insignificant details. That's why the Mac OS X User interface is regarded as one of the most beautiful and perfection-aspiring ever. And you get the idea of this beauty and attention in every single little detail, from the "traffic lights" buttons, to the system icons, like the "textedit" icon hiding the "Here's to the crazy ones/think different" text. And the new Lion "about this mac" panel makes no exception.
I just hope I cleared that...

I have a question. How are you all able to take a screenshot of your About This Mac box and have shadowing around it? Are doing a normal screenshot (Command + Shift + 3)? Thanks.

It was a test of patience getting Lion through the Up-to-Date program...
