Hi Michael, Boy, I don’t know why you upgraded to Lion, you have done nothing but complain about Lion ever since you installed it. Sure, we have all experienced things in Lion that are so very different to any other operating system we have become used to, but this is not necessary all bad. Lion is a learning curve from Snow Leopard and we have had to learn “How to use Lion” and how to customise it to suit the way we work. Mountain Lion is going to be more iOS than Lion is, Mountain Lion is building on Lion and it is the way Apple is moving into the future. Mountain Lion from what I have read is going to be a very secure operating system. Gatekeeper is a significant advance in the history of Mac security. Gatekeeper should ensure that we never see a Mac malware epidemic. It limits the kind of downloaded applications that will run on a Mac. I read these comments online and I agree with this person: /Extract taken from: Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Stalks iOS: This upgrade from 10.7 Snow Leopard to 10.8 Mountain Lion isn’t meant to be a major overhaul like the one we saw moving from 10.6 Snow Leopard to 10.7 Lion. The core user experience remains largely the same, with a series of enhancements that build on the changes made in Lion. If Apple pulls this off it will be one of the most ambitious leaps in the history of consumer technology. Just as the Mac changed desktop computing, the iPod changed the way we listen to music, and the iPhone transformed the mobile phone into something from science fiction, the overlap of iCloud, Lion, and iOS could change everything we know about personal computing. Mountain Lion is the clearest indication yet that Apple shares this vision, and if they succeed, how we use our computers, tablets, phones, and perhaps even televisions will never be the same.
