I don't see any real significant differences between 10.7 and 10.8.  Granted, I 
don't screw with cloud stuff, which may have changed a little or a lot.  
Indeed, I have refused to update to 10.9 because I lose the ability to sync my 
iDevices simply over a USB cable instead of being forced to push all my 
personal information out to the cloud just to make it cross the three feet to 
my own phone.  The federal data vacuum sucks hard enough that I see no reason 
to make its job any easier.
