Mountain Lion is a really stable OS even if it is its first release. I installed it today and there are no slow downs (macbook pro retina) while Lion felt really finnicky and a bit slow (it was fast but not fluid). The battery has also been improved. I would say to upgrade to ML only if your mac is compatible AND you have no PPC apps. Judging by your computer model written in your profile; install ML, it is SL with a lot of new stuff.

Hi Kappy. Good to see you name on the board here at mountain lino (among others, I presume)! You have given me good advice on a few issues, and with outcomes at a high rate of success, I might add. So, if you are the one to give me advice, then good. If it someelse, then I hope for a quick and easy resolve to this question. I am still running Snow Leopard, on the 27 Mac as listed. Is there such a difference between Snow leopard and Mountain Lion that I should go ahead and make the switch? As I stated earlier, I have finally tweeked/tweaked (?) this Mac into a sleek, ninja-warrior quality tool with which I am able to rule my little cell in the corner of the room called life!

.

(please don't let my wife see this). Just clownin, Kappy. The Snow Leopard runs great. Am I missing a lot of innovative and pleasurable apps by not making the move now, tonight? Or is there again something new-ER on deck that would entice me to stand fast with Snow Leopard, or wait for newer changes?


Thanks, Kappy, or whomever.
