As we've noted in our past previews, Mac OS X Lion will bring many of the best elements of iOS to the Mac.

Some of the highlights of Mac OS X Lion include:

Multitouch gestures

Full screen applications

Mission Control

Auto Save and Versioning

Launchpad

Auto Resume of apps

Mac App Store -- now with in-app purchase

AirDrop - P2P Wi-Fi networks

Newly designed Apple Mail

Better Search

Apple is clearly pricing Mac OS X in such a way that most users will probably upgrade. Rather than selling the OS in stores, it will only be available in the Mac App Store. The 4 GB download might be excessive for some, but having installed every past version of the Lion Developer Preview, I can say it isn't terrible. Moreover, this ensures that users can install Mac OS X Lion on every Mac they own without having to buy another license.

Mac OS X Server will now be an in-app purchase rather than a separate version.
