Mountain Lion could almost be a 10.7.x release; it changes so little. Don't bother with a clean install.

I think it's important to temper your excitement a bit relating to ML. Unless you have a fairly new mac (my 2010 iMac is pretty much ineligible for all the cool poo poo) this is a very "unobvious" update. Things run a little smoother, a little snappier, but nothing of note really changes for you. Dictation is cool. Notification center is... rather inconsequential. Etc... [edit] Haha, beaten by seconds again. Yes. What SWSP said. It's not a bad OS. It polishes up Lion in some ways. Very, VERY minor ways unless you have a REALLY new Mac.

I'm counting the seconds until someone releases a standalone "hack/app" that lets my Ancient Mid-2010 iMac do AirPlay to my ATV2. Even if it doesn't work perfectly I'd love to try it out.

There's quite a few bugs in ML, and performance on my mid-2011 iMac (i7, 3.2gHz, 16GB RAM) seems to have worsened, which is disappointing. Has anyone noticed similarly? Here's hoping 10.8.1 comes soon.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:Seriously. This is the least significant "major release" of OS X we've ever seen. That's mostly a testament to how solid and refined OS X has already become, and I'm glad Apple recognizes that by only charging I'd say it's also partially due to the new yearly release schedule. You just can't come out with that big of an update every year. I'm guessing that a few years from now if you compare 10.7 to 10.9 or 10.10 you will see about the same amount of change that you're used to in a "major release", but it just isn't coming all at once anymore.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:I hope you're filing bug reports for all these issues you're finding. Of course I am. Why would I be running pre-release software otherwise? Specifically, notification windows have appeared in the center of my screen under the menu bar instead of the far right; Finder has crashed completely upon attaching an external USB drive; Reminders.app gets confused when multiple lists are selected; windows get stuck dragging them to a second monitor; running screensavers causes iTunes playback to hiccup. Maybe I should do a flatten and re-install, but I haven't done anything ridiculous to my system, and I feel like these all started popping up when I installed the GM. Also, there's no way to just 'close' conversations in Messages (not 'deleting' them) without right clicking on the person's tab and hitting 'Close chat', which is a terrible interface decision. Why does Command-W 'delete' the conversation and require a confirmation, instead of just closing the conversation?

Does anyone know if it fixes the sometimes-bug of trying to empty my recycle bin, and it saying the file is in use? I deleted a .mkv file, and when I tried to empty the recycle bin, it said it was in use. I went in the terminal and found that it was was in use by Finder, even though it wasn't. I guess this was half a "will this be fixed" post and half a "Does anyone know why finder was trying to use the program?" post.

My first Mac was the 2011 13" MBA which came preloaded with Lion, so this'll be my first OS upgrade. I was going to backup to Time Capsule anyway but as far as preserving data/settings does the update process take care of that for me at this point or do I have to use Migration Assistant before or after I'm done?

Why does Command-W 'delete' the conversation and require a confirmation, instead of just closing the conversation? Overall it's more similar to Messages on iOS—it's a persistent list of conversations you've had. You can clear it if you like but you shouldn't have to. I get a little 'x' when I hover over conversations in the left source list. I close using that. If you want history to always be saved when you close, there's a preference "Save history when conversations are closed" that prevents the dialog from appearing every time you close a conversation.

Something I've been wondering about, does the new Core Animation scrolling make a tangible difference in Safari? Or is it almost the same as it used to be?

Hey, on that note, anyone else using Chrome beta on a retina display experiencing extremely smooth scrolling inside Github repository views? That's about the only smooth and high FPS page I've seen so far from a browser rendering to Retina specifications. Their other pages still scroll like molasses but their repository pages scroll smooth like butter unlike pretty much every other page on the internet. This doesn't even happen in Safari or Canary which is just bizarre. Example: https://github.com/ruby/ruby this is lion, by the way. crazysim fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Jul 24, 2012 |

Mountain Lion officially coming tomorrow. Sourcequote:“We’re thrilled with record sales of 17 million iPads in the June quarter,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We’ve also just updated the entire MacBook line, will release Mountain Lion tomorrow and will be launching iOS 6 this Fall. We are also really looking forward to the amazing new products we’ve got in the pipeline.”

I like Mountain Lion, but I hope there's a way to have Chrome opt-out of Notification Center. I'm used to having a GMail tab open while I work on other things. If someone sent me a chat message, I'd get a popup like this: It would stay on top until I'd click it or switch to that tab. In Mountain Lion it pops up a notification for a second or two which then disappears to the Notification Center. If I'm not looking at the screen when it happens, I'll have no idea I got a message.

Compared to Lion, how much better does Mountain Lion run? I opted for the base 2011 MBA model so it only has 2GB of RAM. Lion has gotten kind of sluggish on my machine and am planning on doing a clean install anyways since I'm installing a new 180 GB SSD anyways.

Lion's thumb drive was 70 bucks. Only time will tell if they keep that price point or lower it 10-20$. happily beaten(to death!)
