“One staple of Mac OS X installations over the past several versions has been the welcome video that displays at first boot, displaying an animation of the word ‘Welcome’ in a number of different languages and set to the song ‘Exodus Honey’ by Honeycut,” Eric Slivka reports for MacRumors.

“Unfortunately for fans of the video, neither the previous welcome video nor a new one appears to be included in the GM version of OS X Lion,” Slivka reports. “While a welcome video could conceivably still be added at the last minute, previous OS X releases have seen the video included in GM seeds.”
Slivka reports, “Instead, OS X Lion boots straight into Setup Assistant to help users get up and running. And one new addition to Setup Assistant is an introduction to Multi-Touch scrolling, offering users a glimpse at the enhanced Multi-Touch features included in the new operating system.”
