Before activating any new theme you have now you can customize its looks on your own and can watch it live how it looks like.

Current Theme Customization
You can also customize your live theme without any hesitation this means this NEW feature of live theme editing removes all the blocking you ever had in your way to customize your WP Theme.
Custom Headers
A recommended theme's header size will be shown now, when you will try to add a header in your themes.
Note:It requires theme support.

If you were bored of adding same header again and again to your WordPress blog if you changed your theme on the go, then 3.4 WP solved this issue now , you can choose your header from Media Library.
Twitter Embeds

Just paste a tweet URL and WordPress will allow your readers to reply it, retweet it, and favorite it without leaving your blog.

Hey Join the giveaway
not killer functions but i like the twitter embeding in it
Live theme previous is the best thing that WordPress 3.4 offers. It will surely be great to be able to see how your website would look with themes before buying them. That way you will be able to make better choices.
You are right !
I’m loving the live preview as well, sure beats making changes and then loading up your page to find it doesn’t look as you expected and having to change back! Twitter embeds are also a pretty awesome feature and while I don’t use them at the moment it’s definitely something I am planning to make use of down the track.
Its good know about your motives :)
