“When you highlight a word and use the Look Up in Dictionary command, a pop-up appears with the definition rather than launching the Dictionary app.”

Don’t know if anybody has already asked this, but does that mean it now works like Cmd + Ctrl + D does since Tiger? I totally love this function, it’s very useful.

I never signed the NDA, so technically I’m not violating it. That said, I didn’t exactly get my copy of Lion through legitimate means.

It shouldn’t. It only works when you’re in a text field.

Regarding Easy Access to Accented Letters, how will that affect gaming where you hold down WASD to move?

Even easier, all you have to do is right-click on a word (no highlighting first needed), then choose “Look Up in Dictionary” and voilà, the Dictionary opens up with the word that was clicked on.

That’s true. I didn’t notice. The home folder is also missing from the sidebar by default, but you can add it in preferences.

I didn’t know that either. I’ll have to see if the preference is still there in Lion.

I followed the instructions and it didn’t say anything about a separate app for Windows. There is one according to AppleInsider, but it’s only available to developers for now.
