Three future Lion-compatibility updates to look forward to

Microsoft Office
As reported by MacLife, an update for Microsoft's suite of productivity applications is coming that brings full support of the new features that Lion incorporates into OS X. Frustratingly, the update is apparently still a few months away despite the clear amount of time Microsoft had to work on the update prior to the full public release of the operating system. What I most anticipate with this update is the utilization of Auto Save and Versions in Word, also notable is the full screen support in Word. I will certainly get more mileage out of Word's full screen mode with that button in the upper right-hand corner of the window than I ever had previously.

Rockmelt
Having recently been updated to improve Lion stability, it was announced that a further update would follow adding more complete support of Lion features like full-screen mode and the hiding of scroll bars. Also to be looked for in the update is the support of the dictionary look-up gesture, which upon my testing clearly is not supported in the applications current version. This is definitely a higher anticipated update of mine, the thought of having Rockmelt integrate seamlessly with Lion new features and capabilities is definitely a great one.

Last.fm Desktop Client
While the current version of the Last.fm client is compatible with Lion, it is not compatible with the latest version (10.4) of iTunes that brings compatibility with Lion features and full 64-bit and Cocoa support. That transition to 64-bit breaks the compatibility between the two apps as the Last.fm app is strictly 32-bit. Because of this, I and I am sure many other Mac Last.fm users, have used the brilliance of the Time Machine to restore the previous version of iTunes and regain full scribbling ability. This update will allow Last.fm users to update to the newest version of iTunes and enjoy the performance improvements brought by 64-bit and Cocoa support as well as that Lion functionality.

EDIT: The Last.fm update is now live. Go and download it now.
