If you don't own a Mac or just want to bash apple, start your own thread please. Can we get through one thread of people talking about apple products without it being a flaming war? Let's try it. It's easy- just don't reply.
That being said, any apple owners upgrade to Mountain Lion yet? If so, are you happy with it? I upgraded, and I'll say this in advance, I don't run any equipment off of it, so it's fairly easy for me to deal with. I did notice CS5.5 wouldn't run without a a Java update. Other than that, I'm kinda liking it so far.
Really like the notification feature, and how you can get text messages from other mac's, ipads, or iPhones. It's really nice to be able to respond to a text message from my computer.Also like the reminder coming over to the OS, so now it's all integrated with the phone/computer. I like the Notes feature too. I find myself using Notes and Reminders quite a bit now to help manage tasks and ideas. I was already using them on my phone, but now it's a lot easier, plus I get notifications on the desktop for things now, which is awesome. Safari seems substantially faster to me. Not sure if that's real is my local computer, but the pages seem to load faster. Didn't care about the game center stuff, I don't use that.
I started to use try out the dictation on an email, but that message creeped me out, knowing that it was sending the data to a server to figure out and while doing so it was going to send my contact information. While I understand why it needs to do that, I still don't like that idea of anything, anywhere, anytime, accessing what I consider very private information. Maybe I'll give in on that one over time, but for now, I'll do without the dictation.
The mail program had to do a migration of data over to the new OS. I didn't like that, it did concern me slightly, since any time you do something like that there is a risk (I have it all backed up, so I'm good if something went wrong), but it all worked out fine.
This is the first time I've upgraded ANY operating system so soon in it's release. Since I don't run anything off this computer, I thought I didn't have too much to lose, since I had already read that Adobe hadn't reported any major issues.
It doesn't look like a major release to me, but it does look like some nice polishing of what seemed to be a decent OS. Overall, I like it so far.
Anyone else? Found anything you like that I missed?
