An In-Depth Look At The UI Differences In OS X Lion Vs. Snow Leopard

[kapovianco]

You lost credibility starting @ 0:50 :/

[iRushil]

Great review!! I Love your attention for detail. That's exactly the kind of things I wanted to know before upgrading.

Thanks for all the work you put into this video.

[smileyface31799]

uhm he doesn't even mention photo booth.. smh

[BassMonster1723]

Thumbs up if you are watching this on a PC!

[ytid1vids]

I'm confused, which one is Lion ?

[MSComputerVideos]

@ytid1vids I say in the beginning

[jonpleasetalk]

Lion RAR!!!

[MrMas0ud]

To be honest i like leopard more than lion.

[dearprude]

Argh it kills me that Lion doesn't come w/ the ability to change your appearance to graphite. I know its the pettiest thing in the world but it matters to me. Also I hear there are still quite a few kinks that need to be worked out. I think I stick w/ SL, for a while longer. Thanks for the review~

[MSComputerVideos]

@dearprude you can change it- that was just disabled in the beta, didn't know that then.

The scroll bar disappears on lion

[NathanCJohnson]

Great review! When I get a MacBook, I want Snow Leopard because I like the scroll bars and I just like the whole UI look of Snow Leopard better. Hopefully Apple will allow Lion users to bring back the old style because I like the SL style better. The scroll bars is one of the biggest things for me. I don't want grey skinny ones, I want the blue ones as they look better IMO. They're fine on the iPhone but not on Mac.

[JSantana319]

@NathanCJohnson I'm sure you can do it, even if it comes preinstalled with Lion. If that happens, then you would have to buy the Snow Leopard CD or Thumbdrive.

[NathanCJohnson]

@JSantana319 And then if I bought the Snow Leopard CD I would be able to put it onto the MacBook with Lion on it? Well, I might end up liking Lion IF Apple gives us a choice for the Aqua to come back as I like the SL scrollbars, radio buttons, checks, etc.

[limetang]

Okay. Currently I'm using snow leopard, would I be right in thinking that at least at this moment in time installing lion would be a mistake? (especially when you consider all the bugs etc. that lion has)

[KyleGP]

I can change my appearance to graphite...My lion came enabled with the dots, you have some strange shit going on...

[flasher555]

Mission control sucks ass

[FirebrandNIRE]

@flasher555

Its terrible, why the hell did they think it would be better??

Mission No Control!

[flasher555]

@FirebrandNIRE

I seriously have no idea, the dual monitor setup is as good as useless with it.

I've had to change my entire workflow because of it.

It really is a horribly concept. They have to bring spaces/expose back, seriously.

[FirebrandNIRE]

@flasher555

Definitely and fast :)

[ViR2]

Lion sux...

[alexnzxVersion2]

Horrible Review.

[patricknedz]

they also changed dashboard and photo booth, they also seemed to have fewer desktop backgrounds, or at least they did in the apple store, I played with it there and didnt really like some of the changes, the system preferences seems to be different to on some things, the scrolling can be fixed to work normally though, They also changed the gestures for the macbooks and magic trackpads, which I didnt like either, I think I will stay with snow leopard for now.

[pelucitadered]

@MythzTV @MythzTV I'm so sorry! I never realize how some people take such pride on being ignorant.

[Gw2Archon]

@pelucitadered I see you take great pride IN being a douche.

[pelucitadered]

@Gw2Archon, It takes one to know one.

[MrEdwardCamerahands]

i hate you

[pelucitadered]

Please computer geek, learn to use the correct grammar. On 7:29, it is "an address book," and not "a address book."

[Sollembum78x]

Only thing I hate about new design it that scroll bar when you change the view, it would look fine on a tablet or a pc with touchscreen, but scrolling that thing with the mouse just looks unnatural and doesn't fit well to the rest of the design elements.

[Sollembum78x]

People, please stop being so rude. This video is about UI DIFFERENCES, basically about VISUAL ELEMENTS CHANGED, not about functionality features, and IT IS USEFULL for DESIGNERS (like me) or for people how enjoy beauty of Apple products.

[Baynham3]

@Weelious225 ah ok

[chachevski]

not informative at all! terrible review!

[MSComputerVideos]

@chachevski stfu

[dalynthesk8r]

@MSComputerVideos Your gonna have to learn to take criticism better if you wanna have a good rep on youtube instead of just telling people to stfu

[superelephant360]

@chachevski wtf that was a good review

[Lazteq]

Who cares how round, blue or gradient the windows are? Talk about actual changes in functionality instead. If these really are the biggest changes from snow leopard, Apple hasn't put very much effort into it.

[jav1231]

The sliding styles doesn't work for me in Finder or iCal.

[Baynham3]

my snow leopard has the same bottom bar as lion? not like the one on this snow leopard screen 

[adlsfreund]

I am amazed by all the video reviews on OS X Lion that say how good it is that you can click-n-drag those sliders (like in the Finder for the different view styles).

What is the use in that, honestly? I think Apple is going a bit too far in trying to prove to the world how good they are at making gimmicky animations. I mean it looks nice, but that's it. A simple click on the option you want will always be faster and easier.

[Sk8ordieknarlysk8er]

Does hitting the plus on a window maximize it to to full screen or enough to fit? Please Reply.

[MSComputerVideos]

@Sk8ordieknarlysk8er No, not full screen. I'm honestly not sure what it does. I've never used it in Leopard, Snow Leopard, or Lion. I never got the point of it.

[Sk8ordieknarlysk8er]

Well, in previous versions, it expands the video to try and get rid of the scroll bars as much as they can. For example, if you have a horizontal scroll bar, it'll expand the window horizontally up till you don't need the scroll bar. I thought it was quite useful :D

[Sollembum78x]

@MSComputerVideos Plus opens window to it's full size, not full size of screen but full size of application which can take for example half of screen to display all the neccesary info, so it don't have to be open in full screen and waste free space of the desktop.

[Ipodfanz97]

glad 2 know i'm not the only 1 who plays around in terminal

[Tristankp]

I think that they have partially ruined the mac. They are essentially trying to turn all of their products into the ipad. I already have an ipad and I think that a Mac should be totally different.

[MSComputerVideos]

@Tristankp it still is a lot different. They are just refining the experience.

[PureGraphicTutorials]

Nice video bro, just got the new Macbook Pro 2011 15' and im loving it!

When does OS X Lion release? And will it cost or be free?

[MSComputerVideos]

@PureGraphicTutorials Lion is coming some time this summer. Probably not free.

[PureGraphicTutorials]

@MSComputerVideos Thanks for the reply, Hmmm I thought it wouldn't be free, it shouldn't cost more than £100 will it?

[MSComputerVideos]

@PureGraphicTutorials well, I don't know what that is in $, but Snow Leopard was $30, and Leopard was $129. I think it'll be somewhere in the middle.

[jayparmar1971]

I love your grey wallpaper you have in your snow leopard comparison - where did you get that?

[MSComputerVideos]

@jayparmar1971 It's actually included in OS X Lion. I can't post a link on here but you might be able to find it by searching OS X Lion default desktop.

[rapeand]

really good comparison

[spyromaster2000]

Never seen such a neat comparison. Well done and thanks.

[MSComputerVideos]

@spyromaster2000 thanks!

[jrc2k]

Very nice comparison, thanks for posting this. Can you make the dock in Lion 2D, like you had in snow leopard?

[MSComputerVideos]

@jrc2k I would assume so, haven't tried it though.

[jrc2k]

@MSComputerVideos Just in case you are wondering, your reply was not helpful.

[Jasoco]

@jrc2k Yes, you can.

[supertech97]

Thanks for the shoutout!

[MSComputerVideos]

@supertech97 no problem!

[MrThomaswBryan]

Very informative, Thank you!
