While I don't own an i-Device, I'm actually looking forward to Mountain Lion. To me it isn't just the big advertised features, but the small-little tweaks. Look at the "All the Little Things Thread". The biggest advertised feature that I am eager to use is Game Center, Steam is more for the hardcore gamer and the games are very expensive. Game Center as I see it, is geared more towards the casual user. I can't wait to be able to play games with friends on iOS devices because I haven't been able to in the past.
Got a tip for us?

Mountan Lion rant, what's in it for me?
- Thread starter D-a-a-n

So it's not you making your own conclusions based on Microsoft not using the actual word "beta" and your personal definition of what constitutes a beta, but an actual statement from Microsoft saying that the CP is not a beta? Could you quote this statement?
This would be massive for both security and stability, you could then literally reboot apps (or processes) that start playing up.
I think it would further highlight though what is a big missing link in current Sandboxing. The ability for one App to offer up services to another. So I'd add:-
-improve Sandboxing so that re-opens the door to plug-ins and Apps that offer services to other apps. Only allowing data to cross between boxes so it's secure.
If they do that they should also make a system that lets Big Developers leverage the appStore systems to offer a Plug-in market with in the app.
So a sort of system-wide plugin architecture that any app could take advantage of? Done right, that could be huge. I like that idea a lot, and it would make it very easy for services like Dropbox to gain direct integration into tons of applications, without having to code anything specific for each one.

As you are a developer can you please explain the following article I found on IGN about the up and coming Release Preview MS are releasing for win8???

Yeah, beta's of Leopard and Snow Leopard has ZFS code (back when Apple delivered beta's every two weeks and needed to be burned and installed, with ~20 for each OS X development, not 4 "DP's", OS X seems rushed now). So many of us were excited. Oh well.
