More than one million people have downloaded the newest version of Mac OS X, 10.7 Lion.

Enter in your query, and check the bottom of the Spotlight drop-down menu to see “Search web for” and “Search Wikipedia for.”
Quicktime has some nice new features
If you click the Action arrow in Quicktime, you’ll see a bunch of cool new features you can use.
