IMessages needs work
Tab View too restricted

First up
Not every Mac can run OS X Mountain Lion
So check before you upgrade - regular MacBooks from before 2008 are out
For instance. And sometimes
Apple’s iCloud integration is at the expense of convenience. For instance
TextEdit used to be a quick way to just start typing - click once and go. Now
It takes much longer to boot up
And drops you into a splash screen asking you where you wa
Abstract: DateJuly 26, 2012 - 8:54AM reading now 13 Read later This was originally published on . It's that time of year when a Mac owner's fancy turns to thoughts of felines. Yes, those who lusted after Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion in years ...
Abstract: Is it worth it? It's a fair question. Lion seemed like a bargain at $31.99, but many Mac owners found the beast brought more pain than pleasure. Some longstanding features had been oversimplified; others vanished altogether (RIP “Save As”.) It made a half...

If there's one feature that makes it worth upgrading, it's Notification Center. At £13.99, Mountain Lion is a real bargain for that alone. The true cost might be higher if you have to upgrade from Leopard, or upgrade any of your applications to make them...

Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion's new iCloud integration and syncing features give you the same experience on all your devices. Upgrades to several core apps bring new and useful features for sharing and social connectivity
Game Center, while finally available for Mac, still only has basic features. Dictation sends your voice to be translated at Apple servers, so you can't use it while offline. Gatekeeper keeps you from downloading unsafe programs, but it seems mostly unnece

Even at $20, most consumers will not find Mountain Lion worth the upgrade. And it doesnt seem to speed up your Mac. People looking for things like Twitter integration and Cloud storage should get it. Everyone else, you can save your coins.A word about bu...
Abstract: OS X Lion seemed unpolished, and, worse, not innovative. When Mountain Lion dropped a couple weeks ago, we were pumped: It was a relatively rapid update, and we hoped it would address our concerns. Hrmph.I've been using Mountain Lion for more than a week...

Abstract: Apple just did something the company hasn't done very often in recent years — it completely surprised nearly every single person with the announcement of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, the next OS for the Mac. Inching a step closer to bridging the gap between i...
Mountain Lion does not have many features that make us “WOW”. You are not missing many features for not upgrade to Mountain Lion. Most improvements are in the backend, which users do not notice.If you have better use for USD$20 then hold your Mountain Lio...

Apenas podemos ponerle pegas, aunque el nuevo control de cierre de ciertas aplicaciones es mejorable. Por ejemplo, sale de TextEdit al cerrar un documento
