Today, Apple released a preview version of
Mac OS X Lion, but only for registered Mac developers. This is a big release, not just in terms of front-end experience, but also under the hood. A lot of the changes are influenced by UIKit and iOS, hence the moniker "Back to the Mac", but there's also a fair amount of completely new goodness, some of which will likely roll down to iOS at some point.
If you're an iOS developer, but not a Mac developer, it's probably worth $99 to get access to
Tiger Lion. It'll give you a better idea of where Apple is taking things.
Plus, there's just a lot of really cool stuff in there.
Interestingly, the OS preview is being delivered via the Mac App Store, which might be a hint at how paid OS upgrades will be handled in the future.
Members of the Mac developer program can log into the
Mac Developer site to download Lion, the release notes, and a new version of Xcode 4.
