I'm curious how many of the downloads were new purchases, versus free upgrades from people who bought mac's recently... Either way, that's a lot of downloads though. No wonder the servers were clogged up...!
Got a tip for us?

Windows 8 BETA... Hit 3 million downloads in 4 hours.
Take your obnoxious comment and shove it.
Mountain lion is great. I dual boot Win7, Win8, and ML on my hackintosh but don't make stupid comments without knowing facts.

Anyone else have this? I find that right-clicking my Mighty Mouse fails to bring up contextual menus in Mountain Lion. I tried to change the settings so that the depressing the scroll button acted as a right-click. Then the left button acted as the right button and I had no left-click! I only managed to fix this by accessing my iMac from my laptop. By the way, the double-fingered click on my MacBook Air also fails to bring up any contextual menus. This is a major pain! Just when everything seemed to be going so well.
Have this problem. No fix yet.
Metro interface is a simple right click to normal desk top. Thats why it better have more then just the metro interface. Because that should have just been a add on to windows 7.
I use mac osx mountain lion & windows 7 ultimate on separate laptops. Windows 7 is my choice but I love the feel and style of my macbook.
I bought a computer, purchased internet service, learned how to type, and registered an account JUST to comment on your stupidity.
And how much did the Windows 8 beta cost?
+1 Windows 8 is a large leap from 7. I am very excited about it.
Mountain Lion is ok, but was glad to upgrade from Lion. Lion was terrible.
i use OSX for my casual computing. Anything serious, it happens on my Windows desktop, still running XP, but will be upgrading, about time.
Mighty Mouse problem
Doh! The Mighty Mouse problem I experienced after upgrading to Mountain Lion turns out to be just that - the mouse is expired. Nothing to do with ML. As far as I'm aware, ML hasn't caused a single problem on either of my Macs and everything seems to work a little bit better.

How is 3M in 4 days way faster than 1M in 1 day exactly ?
I was talking about the speed of the OS it self. And considering that lion is a piece of crap no wonder that people bought mt lion. My girlfriend begged me to remove lion from her mbp when mt lion was released and so far so good.
