This version includes mostly GUI changes and Mission Control add ons.
So what is new? The first thing i noticed is a redesigned login screen and a nice animation from login screen to the desktop.
The Mission Control (formerly Spaces) preferences got 2 additions and there is an Mission Control application now, so you can put it in your dock. (i think Mission Control was available as application since DP1 but now its inside the Applications folder instead Core Services)
You can add desktops now right from Mission Control by clicking "+" and close spaces as well.
The new scrollbars change color depending on the background so they are better visible on dark backgrounds.
The Dashboard got a new icon to switch to the next space.
New Desktop wallpapers.
That is all i see so far, but i guess there will be more new stuff i discover in the next days.
So stay tuned.

Lion is getting some pretty nice new things, but I still don't understand why the hell they need to bring tablet features to a desktop.
You should give away a free mac to a lucky reader.
Sound cool, i'll have to let my roommate that has a mac know about this.
Hah nice, they finally solved to make an switch to next screen button :) very helpful
You should work on how huge the pictures are when they open in-screen, or make them open in a new tab or something, IMO.
Also, where did you find this info and pics?
Great post
@Randall A
i made the pics myself and found the infos on my local installation
about the pics size, yeah i should make the loginscreen pic a bit smaller

This is the first REAL review of 11A459e so thank you very much. All I had seen so far was a "list" of the supposed updates which were wrong (there's no such thing as a "boot animation" as they all are saying, neither the login has become part of the booting process, they just removed the rolling wheel and increased the boot time a lot, as far as I can tell at least (i have an SSD so boot time has never been an issue to me)).
