OS X Mountain Lion Launching Tomorrow, July 25

What timezone are we specifically aiming after? according to some it's PST or something - i'm writing from european perspective. :)

The Mountain Lion installer does an upgrade of your system so all your files and such remain intact, but it's highly recommended to back everything up (or at least the most important documents) in case anything goes wrong.

Should these people really be installing an OS when asking questions like that?! /joke

I can't wait to get home for work to Download ML. I have iTunes store credit from a gift card I've had for a while. Saved it for ML! :)

But what happens with Apps that are not compatible with ML... The wont work and we ll have to wait for each of them to get an update?

Most App developers will of updated their apps before ML is released to stop problems like this.
 
I'm so ready to get rid of Lion. I hate it ! I've only had it for a month and it's far the worse version of OS X ever !!

Swiping through pages takes longer than using Spaces. Deselecting a feature doesn't work. iCal doesn't work well with iOS5. I can go on and on. OH and wth is it with this monochrome look? You have a nice screen but everything is GREY! :mad:

Yeah me too. I've copied my 137GB of games on Steam to an external, removed my Windows 7 partition, copied all my files on OS X to an external, and now... we wait :cool:

Mountain Lion's great! I used several of the builds and they worked really well.
 
Does anyone remember if the updated version of Xcode was released at the same time as Lion?

I'm trying to figure out when I can get my hands on 4.4.
 
A few years ago (OSX 10.3 days) when I worked at a little Apple campus store we'd do midnight releases for every update. Since they do it over the app store now I'd think they'd still want to release it at midnight PST.

23 minutes...
 
Guys relax, they didn't do a midnight release with Lion so don't expect one now. It's probably not coming until ~10 am PST. That's 7pm CET.

I dunno, but I'd rather pay $20 every year than spend a hundred bucks once every three (or so) years for a competitor's operating system. Especially when one can install OS X on multiple systems.

Plus, I won't be paying $20 to upgrade to Mountain Lion. I'll be paying $16 because I figured out how to (legally) game the iTunes/App Store system.

Care to share??

Doing a backup first is definitely the smart way of doing it.
I'm doing a full install instead of an upgrade. I always do it when it's a major version upgrade. It will also help me get rid of the zillion apps I have install that I hardly ever use, but we're freely available at the Mac App Store. :D

It's a written rule for me to always do a fresh install for a new OS also.

Not sure what OS you're talking about, but Windows 8 that will be available next month will have an upgrade price of 39$, and you get skydrive (Microsoft's version of iCloud) for free...

So at the end of the day, Microsoft has a cheaper solution...
 
Looking forward to release

All the people on here who think they are cute by hinting at how they pirate are pathetic. Buy your software or go to the torrent forums to discuss that subject. That's where people make their pathetic excuses for stealing software - "oh everything should be free, it's digital so it's not really stealing - I can't afford something so I have every right to take it" - there is free software everywhere geniuses: it's called open source / GNU/ free Mac App Store Apps / trials / promotions / demos / shareware. If you want games go on Steam they sell full games on discounts sometimes for as low as $2-5. There is no excuse.
 
Latest version of Paragon NTFS (9..5.3) wont work on ML so uninstall it before upgrading to ML... If not you should uninstall it from terminal.

How is $39 cheaper than $19.99 (since iCloud is free too)
 
i wonder if they will wait for all timezones meaning the last one is Hawaii (HST) meaning 3 more hours
