I'm ... is it EAD me to my ... um ... what they're doing here is taking some of what they learned ... from ... the user experience on ... I Phones eye pads and moving over to the computer ... now I'm ... it's still a mess ... and it still has a lot of things that I pad is my phones don't know what type ... of file system many key forward in ... a mouse and a you know it runs back programs not ... I had programs ... and it handles Adobe Flash does all those things ... but we use it is now ... more similar ... to the way we use that Apple ... for instance ... I were the biggest difference is is ... direct manipulation so ... you should roll either up or through a documentary web page list ... um ... I actually pushing the document ... all ... were down ... and in so doing cut any ice motion which has been the ... tradition with a scroll bars ... there are no scroll bars in Windows documents online and these were apps that been rewritten ... to take advantage line ... the scroll bar ... only a few years when either scrolling and ... just really more of the isn't feasible and the kid goes away and that gives an idea ... how radical some of the changes are ... in here ... um ... the guy ... list of other radical changes is way too long this video of just a few highlights ... um ... he never had continually city document ... up because Lyon has been structured to Auto City whenever you pause ... for every five minutes here and ... there yet ... it seems ... every change in May ... as a new version of the dock ... but it doesn't appear as a file in your ... file system ... you ... up ... press Command and you get a window which shows you all different versions ... and you can search tool her vision of Britain from her ... brain you are one ... on ... he also has on order resume ... so if you ... close it happened in ... the open it and headed document often see WordPress and document ... cursor highlighting all what's up with the right where you left it ... you can run programs and forced green tea ... pot to hide in a news ... and ... with the SCC through for perusal of Fullscreen you can just use ... gestures on TouchPad ... your laptops you flip through them ... very much like on on a tablet or or and I phone ... it's a lot of sway yen and other gestures in Milan ... they have a thing called Launchpad which shows all your apps ... icons in full screen ... that this multiple screens in the Mikitani dissuaded from very much like the way EVs are ... presented a night at ... you have to use that but it's there you would like to ... do it it also totally over it ... will email program ... to looks more like the one on ... the AIPAC ... to the downside to all of this of course is this is going to be a baby just ... getting adjustment ... or even better connect users I think that ... will increase the amount of learning and change their to do ... if you're coming from windows to the Mac ... and that's a that's the downside to this ... prices low as thirty dollars ... and a thirty dollars lighter use it on ... as many Mexican have ... to what he wants thirty dollars ... um but I know there are the new debt to just two if you buy this ... may not work out so well for everybody is that there are only delivering it ... the download ... and it has to be downloaded to a rich machine running ... older operating system the previous outbreaks of snow Leopard ... he can help or Internet connection ... due to an Apple store in Italy download their new LP download and install it ... and in August there to come out with a version for sixty nine dollars on a USB thumb drive ... those people that one ... one way ... to ... in my tests ... um ... really every program I had was it was compatible with this ... one ... crash on ... our forum apps and I was using over a period of ... about four or five days and that was something ... that was in iTunes ... these Dyches in twenty times one time crashing Apple said ... they have another version coming switching to working with ... with my aunt and one ... that was incompatible with its maker has already said the ... new law and version which they going to release ... the next few days ... so my ... mind is I think this is ... this computer operating system out there and he beat me I think it begins to emerge ... post PC devices with the computer ... while ...
