I have found probably the ONLY worth feature in Lion.
"Upon entering the new recovery mode, you can restore your system to any point in time from a Time Machine backup and run Disk Utility to check, repair, erase or partition volumes. In addition – and this is obviously your key takeaway – users can“reinstall Lion over the Internet from Apple’s servers”. The ability to reinstall the operating system directly from the recovery partition without having to boot into Lion and run the Mac App Store is a neat addition whichever way you look at it."
Reinstalling Lion over the internet in recovery is something interesting and definitely useful if you are omitting the physical disc.

- Can't you also run safari while in recovery mode, that's pretty coolanimatedgif
