So far it's working great on my Mac mini and MacBook Air 11" (both 2011 models). Adobe programs needed a Java update, but now they are working fine for my everyday tasks: Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom, browsing, etc.

Everything feels a little slicker and smoother than Lion.

Which MacBook do you have, Joe? I found this:

No issues on my i7 MBA

No issues on my 13" Macbook Pro I5
Does seem to work smoother.

bummer...seems my 2008 macbook is too old for the mountain lion!
it won't let me buy it...

I have it and to be honest, don't notice any significant differences really.

The changes seem minimal but I like the changes the made. Sorry you can't use it back alley but you're not missing a substantial change (more of a tweak).

FWIW, it's been working flawlessly thus far (knock wood) on my i7 iMac (2009) and 13 inch Macbook Pro (2009).

Sometimes there's a delay in availability of updated drivers for new O/S releases (and driver support is occasionally dropped altogether) - anyone had any issues with printers, scanners, other peripherals?

 

[texchappy]

Nope, not I.

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

 

[jpskenn]

I upgraded from Snow Leopard.

Hardware:
Everything works fine without any driver update.
Plustek OpticFilm 7400, Epson V600, Wacom Intuos 4

Software:
VMware Fusion 3 is disabled by Mountain Lion. (This is a known issue, maybe.)
Any other software (Photoshop CS3, Lightroom 3, VueScan and more) works fine.

Biggest thing I heard of was text messages on the desktop- will be great for those of us with teenagers.

Been using this since beta. It is awesome. I am no teenager tho!

So iMessage for iOS users and Google Voice + GrowlVoice for others, I can do all SMS from my Mac and it's a major time saver.


Oh and in case someone missed it, you can access Notification Center by 2-finger left swipe from right edge of trackpad. 😉

I thing I will never upgrade to this stuff. Only new features for social media addicted people. Don't need a dictate function. I'm seriously considering windows again. Don't like the direction Apple is going.

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.

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

What version of MacBook do y ou really have? I have the first aluminum 13" version (non Pro, late 2008) - and I definitely can buy it (did you yet, but the App Store look like I could). Which OSX do you have now? You must be at least on Snow Leopard to be able to buy OSX via App Store. I had to buy Snow Leopart to get Lion too.

Anybody using Aperture on Mountain Lion? I updated to latest release, but I'm still on Lion.

Windows 8 will not answer those objections.

I just hate that my still-beefy 2007 Mac Pro won't run it.

Works great, installed it on 6 machines so far 🙂

You haven't looked at all the features and improvements.
