"AppleSpeculator - macrumors newbie"...obviously some android d*ck rider who created an account here just to talk smack about Apple.
I on the other hand cannot wait for this update, Apple has a lot of cool things up their sleeves.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, checked my list of applications that use Growl and are not from the App Store:The only problem is that notification center only works with Appstore apps
1Password (is available on App Store though on Lion, I'm using SL)
Arq
Daisydisk (crippled version on App Store)
Dropbox
Firefox
Flow
Handbrake
Hazel
Knox
Max
Quicksilver
Skype
Sparrow (is available on App Store)
Spotify
Transmit
VLC
if you're going to come out with claims like that you better look for an argument 1st! this is not the place for that kind of talk!
You might not like iOS but a lot of people do! If you want to speak freely about how much you hate it at least explain what you don't like + add to the discussion.
Apple always used to make a big deal of OS new features and improvements, and it wasn't just "developers" that were interested. But of course that was back when they were Apple Computer Inc.
Considering the reception of win8 CP there might not be all that much competition...
I think that there needs to be more competition in this area, if win8 doesn't take off then apple might have free reign. We couldn't have them getting sloppy now could we.

Because there is an API you have to use to make it work.
I'm sorry but in what sense? Windows will undoubtably sell more copies, make more money and end up on more computers throughout the world. What aspect of this is "destroyed" Even Windows Vista sold more and had a higher market share than all versions of OS X combined.
I'm sure Mountion Lion will be a welcome upgrade for Mac users and will be mostly well received.
He is known for his provocative predictions (which some commentators having the benefit of hindsight later dismiss as having being simply inaccurate at the time they were made) regarding the perceived viability and future of various technological devices,
Xcode 4.4 Developer Preview 2 for Mountain Lion
They also released Xcode 4.4 Developer Preview 2 for Mountain Lion, which supports development using iOS 5.1 devices, the previous one was limited to iOS 5.0 device for debugging etc.
ML works fine for my day to day work. And Airplay works great.
VMWare still doesn't work though. Wish they release an update, i don't think it will happen till a public release of ML.

Indeed. OSX vs. Windows 8 is not interesting, in terms of sale anyway.
iPad vs. Windows 8-based tablets, on the other hand...
Why is it that in the past few updates to the Mac OS the previous version is better than the newer version???
Is this only for the previews, though? It would make sense for Apple to not require the Mac App Store during the testing period.
I heard that they were going to only allow Mac App Store apps to use notification center. How much truth is there to this?
Also, how do they enforce this? OS X is not a locked down environment by any means.
This makes sense from Apple's perspective because they want people to only use the Mac App Store to download programs (which is safer, easier and more controlled).
For those of us who think nothing of downloading programs anywhere off the net, this is obviously an annoying attribute, but hardly surprising given how Apple has a hold on their eco-system.
It doesn't really make sense, though. Developers are geeks, and iOS apps are developed on OS X. If you cripple and lock down the OS, and take away features that geeks enjoy using, less people will want to develop for iOS and the platform will suffer.
Apple should have a marked interest in keeping Mac OS X a fun and powerful system for geeks along with keeping it easy to use for the mainstream. They've done a good job of this so far, and the platform has done well. Screwing it up now by adding in restrictive code is not good in the long run.
At first I thought you may be being sarcastic...(seeing how not one single company has been able to make what Apple has made with the iPad, thats not opinion either its a researchable fact).
And now I know you're just trolling.
No. That was back then when Mac OS X was primitive and every iteration "had" to include many more big features, because so many necessary things were missing. OS X has matured by the time of Tiger and most stuff that came after that were less impressive. It's not surprising at all. For 3D developers, Lion finally brought support for OpenGL 3, which was missing since the days of Leopard and SL should have included it in the first place. Yet it wasn't really a big deal for most people, because consumers don't care. Even though this is a big deal for many developers.
