Well for one thing, everything Apple in Lion is 64 bit and is DAMN FAST on my 12-core. Quite a jump from the old G5 of the same speed. Granted, there was not the extra load of all the startup stuff I usually have because I was running Lion in a dedicated volume, as I was warned by the Dev group, but it seemed extra stable.
I didn't get a chance to do much with Revolution, but it seemed to be fine in LIon. Did not try Remo yet. Multiple instances of Quicktime, crunching DV down to 3 formats in 'Save for Web", got done before I returned with my coffee. I also didn't see the dreaded 'spinning pizza' cursor as much or at all using Lion. It seems like Leopard is doing far more memory swapping ( or whatever it's doing ) - and I've been seeing that dammed cursor more and also odd blocking 'breaks' with Leopard. "Launchpad" is a pretty obvious name. It's possible that it hadn't been registered before, or Apple registered it in 2002 or something. Apple probably has a busy department that does nothing but buy domain names and register trademarks.
