Most likely just some new eye candy to keep the fanboys happy.

Apple do have a rather generous definition of "Feature". They are apparently counting disappearing scroll bars and the same physics based scrolling used on iOS devices as features.
My own view? A few nice things. I find it funny that they are suddenly hyping full screen apps as the next big thing as the Amiga had them in mid 80s..
My main concern is that if we go for this at work, I am going to have to find a way of distributing it that doesn't involve up to 100 computers each downloading 4 gig of data from Apple. I have a nice method at the moment, but it involves setting up one computer with OSX and some configuration options, then taking a disk image of it. This might still be possible, but they mentioned authorised computers downloading it. Not sure how Lion will handle authorising multiple computers using one disk image.
