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

No. They announced Lion last year during the earnings call. I wonder if they will announce 10.9's availability this time next year? :D
 
Well it's already midnight here, and no sign of it, so I guess it's not a midnight release.
 
anyone know if you can go back to Lion via Internet recovery or are you totally stuck with ML if your apps don't work?

I created a Lion USB and did a clean install via my USB. (Download Lion, go into disk utilities, tinker around, etc).

Will it be the same with Mountain Lion? Can I download, create a Mountain Lion USB... and then do a clean install via that USB?

I'd like to do a 100% clean install on my SSD, etc.

Yes. The Recovery will be named "Recovery-10.8". The same restore process as in Lion. I'd recommend deleting all partitions and create from the scratch. No hard formatting - will corrupt your SDD.

It's only 3pm in Cupertino. My guess is that it will launch sometime tomorrow morning in California.

Create back- up now. Recovery automatically updates to Recovery-10.8. Windows Office 2011 Mac, QuickBooks 2012, Photophop CS6 all would work with ML, but if you have Retina Mac - wait for update. Apple needs to update their iWork as well.
 
Already able to pull it from the App Store if you're on the network at Apple HQ in Cupertino. Boss' biz partner just grabbed it "in a matter of seconds".

WTF? That is afternoon overhere! It's unacceptable that Apple would let us refresh the App store every minute for so long :p

When I was a widdle boy folks said, 'Swell!'

When I got bigger folks said, 'Cool!'

When I was a fully grown guy the younger folks said, 'Groovy!'

Now the hip crowd says, 'Sweet!'

Wonder what the next 'in' expression will be? There will be one..there's always one.

SUUUGGOOOOIII!!!

Best if said with a fist in the air and tears streaming down your face in an endless waterfall.
 
Hey folks, just something for the Mac Pro users out there: There is a bug in the GM of 10.8 that drops wifi intermittently with the "BearExtender" USB adapters.
 
I was going to go buy an MBP tonight. Can anyone tell me whether or not it is better to buy one tomorrow rather than today? Would ones they receive tomorrow have the new OS, and if so, is it better in any way to have the new OS from the beginning as opposed to installing it as an upgrade?
 
Can someone tell me how many gigabytes (approx.) mountain lion will be? I have such a lame and slow Internet connection, it's gonna take ages to download :-(
