• bug in the update BEWARE

  pamelaannberry4/24/2015

  Pros

  none that I'm aware of

  Cons

  My OS crashed after updating. Took to apple store and they admitted a bug in the update. After updating you will get a flashing folder. If you get past the folder you will need to enter password but mine couldn't located the OS. Apple is aware this can happen with the update.

• Beta Bugs are eating away at Apple's core

  NaturalApple10/6/2012

  Pros

  Price and prettiness.....you get what you pay for....it used to cost more and was worth it.

  Cons

  We need a platform that works...and continues to work through all iterations...early adopters are always bitten by beta bugs and cringe when a new update comes out. Apple seems to fail to read feedback. The updates facilitate more marketing of music, pie in the sky clouds and digital mining than productivity and intelligent user interface. IMHO...as user for the last 20 years I find it hard to enjoy all the many changes that come out so fast and furious that the java scripsts and macros for productivity and the smart third party apps stop and cost the developers and us and us work after Apple breaks them...then once the investment has been made they RIP them off and add their great ideas and hard pioneering work to their OS putting them out of business. It is wrong, unethical and everything the pariah or prophet Jobs engendered. Quit change for change sake...make it work well and then and only then make it work better. If not- the beta bugs will devour Apple and their core will rot.

  Summary

  Apple has lost sight of their long term stakeholders— those that bought Macs for Work...we expect and OS to wor...and well... not be rushed out to fix a beta bug and then add 5 more problems and bugs while crippling productivity tools from third party app developers....then more updates...I have lost trust in Apple. It is getting greedy and lusting after market share without respect to those who endured and made Apple worthy....the ones who brought it from home to the work place...and made it an ICON for creative productivity. I use to love Apple and pushed it and its inflated price to friend and foe...because it was worth it...now I am embarrassed ...and they call me for help because a simple platform that just worked and gave you productivity from the first hour spent... now is becoming a nightmare not the dream machine it was....unless of course you are a preteen with rich parents...and only want to watch TV and listen to purchased MUSIC from the monopoly...while you check how many friends you have on FACEBOOK.and the Flatulence Index over America...we have an app for that...but it may not work on the update.

• An iPhone GUI on your Mac? Surely you jest?

  Terentium10/6/2012

  Pros

  An interesting indicator of Apple's marketing strategy. Ought be a huge sales success with the millions who thumb and swipe their way around their iPhones' Apps, and wander through traffic on foot or bicycle while wearing ear-buds. May improve the gene-pool.

  Cons

  A sequel (10.8.2) to Lion's (10.7.5) virtual disaster for OS X's stability and performance.

  Summary

  @anyfors (Aug. 16, 2012 review, above) says it well. Mountain Lion is an obvious attempt to capitalize on the current generation's obsession with "being connected" with friends and entertainment, anywhere and anytime, on any of their devices. It's the next best thing to group telepathy. The unintended consequences will be interesting. I tried 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion/Cougar) for several weeks but finally wiped it from my hard drive and did a clean install of 10.7.5 (Lion), which still needs a few hacks to work well on specific MacBook Pro models (e.g. MacBookPro6,2). In other words, Apple still hasn't got all the bugs out of 10.7.5! In comparison - Snow Leopard (10.6.8) was rock-solid, robust and fast! But it apparently cannot be made to work well with Apple's iCloud (iFog?) - so the underlying guts of OS X need to change. Unfortunately, the overlay of the IOS GUI has been undertaken simultaneously, and I suspect this has contributed to the current OS X "mess". It will take a while to disentangle - if ever. I may yet revert to Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on my Macs that can still run it. But beware of the latest generation of MacBook Pros: Apple has instigated changes to the firmware (via downloadable firmware updates on the new machines) that can make it impossible to boot Snow-Leopard on the latest hardware).

• No longer OS X, this is now a hybrid of iOS and OS X

  anyfors8/16/2012

  Pros

  Better security. Better integration for people with a presence on many websites. Notifications can be very useful if you're looking out for something.

  Cons

  - The Arrange & Kind changes to Finder are the opposite of helpful. In fact they are a hindrance to getting anything done. - The OS seems to think that everybody is using a touch device to operate it. People using standard mice will have problems. - There's some problems with sound not being available for some apps after upgrading. - For those with a Unix background, access to the system has been cut off to a large extent. Things that could be tweaked on true OS X are no longer available, since much of the new interface is built on iOS.

  Summary

  For many of us, the switch from PC to Mac became a no-brainer when Apple decided to base it's operating system on a Unix platform. A slick Mac interface on top of the sturdy, bulletproof Unix standard seemed like the best of all possible worlds. Then came the iPhone, the iPod and the iPad. Their sales have outshone those of the Mac and the iMac for years to the point where now there are more users on the iOS operating system than there are using OS X. You can see where this is heading, can't you? iOS is taking over our beloved Macs, and the sturdy Unix underpinnings we count on are going the way of the dodo, leaving us with a half-assed operating system that is useful only for people who don't do any particularly heavy work with their computers, simply use them for entertainment. There's nothing wrong with entertainment. It's just that if you want a computer to compute, you don't want it dancing around on ballet slippers to do so. Unfortunately, Mountain Lion is dancing as fast as it can, wearing some kind of freaky-deaky costume, and it can't do much for you if you really want a heavy duty system. I believe that we have seen the last true OS X operating system with Snow Leopard. Stick with it, if you love your sanity and actually want to get any work done.

• Faster , especially Safari

  sokolow7/25/2012

  Pros

  Faster, especially Safari. Finder and mail are snappier, too.

  Cons

  Notification center is more annoying than useful. Probably will turn it off.
