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

Looked at the 200+ new features on the apple website. Not a single one that's worth the cost of 16 EUR (for me).

The last time I upgraded I regretted it.

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 :-(

Eversince I installed mountain lion on my mid-2010 iMac, my screen is often flickering.

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.

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.

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!).

A very cool new feature and Mac OS X .8 Mountain lion is the dictation and speech function that you can find in the system preferences. Take all off your time by exploring the over 200 features as described in this link: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html
