None whatsoever.
Obviously, it all depends on what machine you have.
PPC: Not supported.
CD iMacs, Macbooks, and Early mac Pros: No CoreCL support.
GMX3100 Macbooks: No CoreCL support.
New machines will benefit most and speed will be the benefit.

Mine is just over a year old. Generation prior to current generation. It's a 15-inch 2.4 ghz dual core MBP.

I understand the upgrade is fully supported by my machine. My question is will the improvements in the new OS be significant to me? I run both Mac and Windows XP operating systems, using VMWare Fusion. I don't do any gaming, mostly word processing, email, web surfing, photo editing and some video editing.

It'll be faster and take up 6GB-10GB less on your system.
And it's 30 bucks.

2006 Mac Pro can benefit from OpenCL support as long as it's been updated to the NVIDIA 8800GT.

All Intel users will benefit. How much and in what ways is impossible to know for each user who asks 3 months before the software is released.
I was trying to point out the difficulty in answering the question with no information provided by the OP by providing a fairly non-usefull answer.
None of my household machines are fully supported. But for $30, I really can't go wrong (except for what it breaks).

Great. My MacPro 8 core machine from last year doesn't support OpenCL.

But an inexpensive GPU upgrade should fix that.
