OS X Mountain Lion Launching Tomorrow, July 25

[BreuerEditor]

LET'S DO THIS!!!!!

Oh...and when is 10.8.1 coming out?

 

[Porco]

I'm torn… it should improve some of what I hate in Lion, so that's good, but it's likely the end of all but the most-critical updates for Snow Leopard, which I'm not so happy about.

That's mountains for you though, lots of ups and downs.

 

[yanki01]

yippy!

 

[blacktape242]

What time is it dropping?

probably 10am California time...

 

[lmddawson]

and here we go...

just me who read that in The Joker's voice?

Is this the first time they announced something like this during an earnings call?

lol. good one, pretending to be so stupid you actually don't read the article before posting!

 

[logicstudiouser]

So if I buy a built to order macbook pro today from apple, will it come pre installed with mountain lion when it ships?

 

[Mr X]

My iMessaging (beta) on my Mac has been playing up all night, sometimes launching iChat - something is obviously being prep'd - Im in the UK so maybe midnight launch?

Nope, last year they did it with Lion.

 

[l.w41sh]

Yes!

$19.99 for what?

Is that for the update from Lion or the whole thing? My father-in-law did not upgrade last time but thinks about this time. He has an iMac which would run it and MyFi 3G - so I have to plan moving it into town to suckle it from my 50MBit/sec cable - that will reduce package loss and a lot of headache and time.

May God have mercy on their servers and the interwebs as a whole.

From the 10.7 release topic.

20$ from SL or Lion. You don't need to go from SL to Lion first to get ML.

any news on compatibility with Logic and 32bit aus?

 

[imacericg]

What time is it dropping?

Does anyone know what time it will be released??

If I remember right, it was released just after 9am EDT last year.

I remember installing SplashTop on my Mac before I ran out the door for work so I could download it while at work.

 

[bfern002]

Wasn't Lion released around midnight of the launch date?

 

[fiveainone]

lets hope this fixes rMBP's lags!

 

[biscuitsxluv]

My Retina MBP is ready for it! All stuff/files saved in drop box. Woot!

 

[Razeus]

Still haven't figured a way to detect my iWork apps and convert them to Mac App store Apple? Lame.

 

[Sweetfeld28]

Sweet!

Thanks. I think he has SL. I'll check that first (dunno how right now since I'm PC user, but I find my way through...)

PS: I would love to run Mac's OS but they don't support my hardware: 6 core AMD are not Hackintosh compatible. Neither is the Radeon HD 6790. What a shame. Well, I guess Windows 8 isn't too bad either...

 

[nunes013]

finally time to release it from its cage

ya that was a bit corny but I'm pumped!

 

[MartinH]

What time is it dropping?

I think last year it was about 1pm Uk time

 

[olowott]

oooo the servers!!!

HOT!
HOT!!
HOT!!!

"Apple followed a similar tactic last year, announcing at the start of its July earnings conference call that OS X Lion would launch the following day."

We are also really looking forward to the amazing new products we've got in the pipeline."

That definitely means a new iMac.... Either tomorrow or by the end of the year...
