Features

Apple released Mac OSX Lion, the latest and greatest OS

Lion has multi touch gestures, to go back a page, switch desktops, and many others

Also has a page that is a lot like the ipad/ipod/iphone home screen, to view all your apps

Software

Mac OSX comes preloaded with all software that everyone can use for there everyday life

IPhoto is something people use to store all their pictures they need

Keynote, Pages, and Numbers are like office but they just throw it in for free rather then annoying trials

Garage Band lets people record music or create music digitally

Dual OS capability

Mac is the only os that allows you to use both windows and mac os

Programs like parallels and boot camp allow your mac to have windows as a second operating system

Multi-touch gestures

The mac track pad on the Macbooks, or the external track pad, and the magic mouse allow you to change desktops, switching between apps, and much more

To do this, using multiple fingers to swipe forward, back, up and down, left right and other directions

Started in osx leopard, but perfected in the new lion.
