I found at least one thing that's changed, and for me it's an important one;
On my 2011 MBP I had a lot of trouble to install Lion preview 4, because there's a file in it that prevents the system from rebooting (so it stalls the install at the reboot that normally occurs halfway).
After installing it from another Mac (using the MBP in target mode) I had to manualy remove a file and replace it with a file of the same name from my 10.6 system.
The file is used for the wi-fi connection, and while I could now boot (with some strange stuff going on during boot, but still) and use Lion, there was one drawback: my MBP would not remember my wi-fi network.
I had to point it to my own network every time after rebooting.
After this update the network is being remembered like it should, and the boot sequence is 'cleaner'.
Me happy :-)
I like the new login screen. A lot. It's psychologically disconnected from the EFI boot screen now, and that folder background (that they've started to really milk... ) remains gorgeous.

What is the/a folder background? I'm confused

The hatched background used across OS X now (in both the original dark and new light forms) originally appeared as the background of folders in iOS 4, so I call it the folder background, because that's how many people know it.
Here's the dark form (like on the login screen):
And the new light form (behind the Spaces in Mission Control and as the default background in Safari, interestingly enough):

So, for those in an enterprise where everything goes through a purchasing group. How are we going to get users upgraded as they wish to without them signing into their itunes account and ordering one license at a time with their corporate card (which is against company policy) and then filling out expense reports?
