People who’ve torrented this are commenting in the Apple subreddit, and a lot of them say that Apple’s not hiding any new features: everything in the DP has been talked about in the official rundown. It’s a pretty startling reverse from what generally happens with their hardware and iOS. It seems somewhat Microsoftian in a way, laying out a platform roadmap (albeit much shorter than what Microsoft does).
Boring old Mac OS X.

Alternatively maybe Apple's ability to hide new features is getting bettr?
- lambda 16y agoUh, that's no secret. Apple has been working towards resolution-independence for years now. Each of the last several OS releases has added more support for resolution independence, and more tools for helping developers achieve it (you can actually change the scale at which everything is drawn using Quartz Debug in the developer tools, but lots of the UI is fairly broken when scaled up). They haven't managed to quite get there yet, but it doesn't surprise me that Lion gets closer if not finally introducing the feature for real.

- wmf 16y agoApple knows that anything in a developer release will be leaked immediately anyway, so there's not much point in keeping things pseudo-secret. Also, there could still be Lion features that aren't in this developer release.
