(Many times you also have to agree to download an app from the web.) It’s almost like a cruel joke. If you download a Mac OS program from the web, you have to click on the file name in the Downloads window, then drag the icon for the app into the Applications folder within a small window. The other reason why Launchpad is a godsend is that it works hand in hand with the Mac App Store. Right now you have to press F4 or pinch with three fingers and a thumb to get to it. It’s cleaner than the way Windows handles apps, but I’d like to see Apple offer the option to let Launchpad be the default view on the desktop.
Maybe it’s because I’m a regular iPhone and iPad user, but there’s something reassuring about Launchpad, which presents an iOS-like grid of shortcuts to all of your apps. And now with Lion you get Quick Look previews just by hovering your cursor over the results. Spotlight will instantly return results as you enter letters, neatly breaking down results into multiple categories, from documents and folders to messages and webpages. Just click the little magnifying class in the upper right corner or press Command + Spacebar on the keyboard (a great shortcut) and start typing. Spotlight is the ultimate universal search tool.

As an experiment I tried ditching my ThinkPad for a week for a new 13-inch MacBook Air, and I was pleasantly surprised by some things and frustrated by others. What Migration Assistant doesn’t offer is a way to swap your Windows brain with a Mac one. This tool transfers everything from your calendar and contacts to your iTunes library and browser bookmarks right to your new Mac.

One of the most underrated features of Apple’s new Mac OS X Lion is the built-in Windows Migration Assistant.
