mountain lion?

Working great on my late-2010 MBA. I love the notifications.

I still, however, despise the elimination of Save As from native apps that happened in Lion. I find the new versioning concept very, very frustrating, and am extremely attached to my folder system.

On Mountain Lion, hold option key to get Save As... back again, worth the upgrade price by itself.

Have you seen Windows 8 ? - As far as I know they are going in the same direction - like it or not.

Hm. I only have Windows 7 on a separate Partition on my Mac. That's really ok. Just looked up some information about windows 8. Just the same social media centered bs :-(
 
DW cs6 is nice, alot of changes since dw8. Welcome 🙂

New osx is running fine on my mbp. like others very little changes noticed. some more apps seem to use the retina display which is nice.

The last time I upgraded I regretted it.

Actually, me too. Apart from dropping Rosetta, which was expected, I had the impression that my 2010 i5 MBP ran a lot slower after I upgraded to Lion. If it's really true that Mountain Lion runs smoother than Lion I might consider installing it.

Since it's already quite far along, you might aswell skip it and wait for the next one 😉

Save As is back in Mountain Lion. While you press the option/alt key, the Duplicate menu item turns into the good old Save As.

I have a 2010 i5 MBP too. Snow Leopard ran much faster than Lion, until I increased my Ram from 4Gb to 8Gb. Now it runs just as fast. So, if you haven't done so increase your Ram first, ML won't be any better otherwise.

I actually upgraded to 8gb RAM right after I bought iit so that can't be it. Anyways, I'll probably just update to Mountain Lion to see if it changes anything. I'm hoping it won't be worse.
 
I have upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion on both a mid-2011 Mac Mini with an i7 and 16GB of RAM as well as a MacBook Air with i7 and 4Gb of RAM and as much as the newer feature set is reasonably meh, my view to date is that Mountain Lion just runs better than Lion. Lion seemed a little rushed and a little buggy and this version is really what Lion should have been.

As I use Nikon Scan to run my 8000ed I need an OS that runs Rosetta and so it's Snow Leopard for me.

Here's a thought for you. If you don't have to run your scanner that often why not looking into a small external to clone your existing OS to with your scanning software. Run it externally when you need to and upgrade your main drive to the latest OS.

Or buy somebody's crap WinXP box for fifty bucks as a dedicated scanning machine.

any probs?

is it safe for my little macbook?

I've been beta testing it.. Been running it full time on a 2011 MacBook Air (1.7 gHz, 4G RAM, 128g storage) for several weeks. Smoother, more responsive than Lion. No issues with Lightroom 4.1, Flare, or Snapseed (my most used photo toolset). Good improvements to Calendar, Mail, Preview, Safari, Contacts, etc. No problems printing to my HP 7960, E710, or Epson R2400. Works fine with both Cinema Display 27" LED and Thunderbolt Display 27".

Overall, it seems a very solid release.
 
So I installed it on my 2010 i5 MBP and while I haven't noticed a bit change so far, it also hasn't made anything not work or run slower so that's good. One good thing is that it seems to have resolved a very annoying issue I had with MS Office crashing all the time. At least is seems like it's resolved (knock on wood!).
 
I might go for DW cs6, but more likely Flux 4, which I been looking at for a couple of weeks now. I run Amaya now.

If you like Flux 4, PM me, I'll do you a good deal, I am one of The Escapers!
