So I've been running Mac OS 10.8 'Mountain Lion' for a little over a week now and I am not impressed at all. Fortunately it's only $20, but So far I have yet to utilize a single new feature in it. Messages plain ol' doesn't work for me. I still have an @mac.com email address for my apple ID so there is all kinds of no-joy for messages. I use Outlook for work, so I don't need reminders, and I use Evernote, so Notes is superfluous for me (and rather crappy to boot). So far this is the Windows Vista of upgrades for me. It added security, which is annoyingly getting in my face, it seems slower on some things (I get more beach balls than pre-upgrade) and of all the claimed new features, I don't touch most of them. Yup, it's vista.
Worst part of the upgrade to me is that my trusty old 2007 MacBook Pro isn't supported anymore. It's had a reasonable run, but it's sad when a still viable device is left behind like this. Oh well, I guess Apple can't hit it out of the park all the time.
