Wait for Mountain Lion or not?

Thanks you. I think it's just the thought of having a clean installed system and get the montain lion thumbstick with the air is better than having the lion version then upgrade if there's a reinstall needed (if that ever will happen true).
But I'll guess I pull the trigger in the weekend. I'll get the 11 version since I want portability but sadly I will do lots of music and sheet music writing so I'll be mostly working on a second screen when not on the go (which is yet another investment. But I think I will just simply have to test this setup out).
Thanks
Fred

There's no more recovery thumbdrive anymore. You reinstall from the recovery partition or the internet recovery in the EFI.
I have one of the early ML developer previews. (Too busy to go get the GM). I made my own usb stick using the same method I used to make myself a Lion stick. It still works. If you purchase ML, be sure to make yourself a stuck using installESD.dmg (inside the app) before allowing it to install and auto-delete its own install app, leaving you with the recovery partition / internet recovery as your only option to get up and running in the event of a disastrophe.
Not so. Mountain Lion is Apple's Windows 7 to Lion's Windows Vista. Most Snow Leopard users that couldn't stomach Lion should be happy with Mountain Lion, and it's a "no brainer" upgrade for Lion users. 200+ New Features
