There's gotta be some under the hood updates that they haven't told us about yet. Especially considering every report we've heard has said it's significantly faster than Lion.

thanks, I'll take a look into that app
I looked into that and went on the website and honestly didn't know what to DL, it was confusing

I don't either. It was my first OSX installation ever. lol. Be sure to check out their official YouTube videos. It'll probably give you some ideas on how to use it to make apps and the UI snap to your every swipe and tap. Every time I bootcamp into Windows I become a sad panda because all of the enhancements are gone. Windows is half as functional as OSX+BTT IMO. Multiple desktops+ 30 or so swipes with BTT is just heaven for multitasking.

I'll try it when I reboot into OSX, but you can set up gestures for each individual application. If you did that already and it's not doing what you want to see, I'll try it later this evening and report back.
Do you have an Air, or a MBP that you removed the disc drive on? If the later, I found that putting the optical drive back in the computer for the install process was easier than trying (and failing) to do the USB thing. If you have an Air, ignore.

...hate me...
I have an MBP and a Mac mini but either both drives are busted (unlikely) or I simply have bad media, because I burned 3 or 4 DVDs a couple of weeks ago but all install attempts failed at some point.
Now that I think about it, maybe the Windows machine I'm trying to install 8 CP on is the one with the optical busted. That computer is currently wiped so I can't even use Windows to create a Windows USB, lol.
I'm trying to copy the ISO to an USB, probably won't work.
edit: it didn't. But Boot Camp assistant for the rescue, created a bootable USB from there. Seems to be working.
The only "hacking" required is to edit the info.plist on the Boot Camp assistant app to add your specific Mac model to the list of models able to do a bootable USB (if it doesn't already, mine didn't).

Any news if it will be possible for the notes to be synced via iCloud only? I don't have a .me email address and I don't want one. It's annoying that all my notes show up in Mail.app, spread over multiple (GMail) accounts.
By the way, is there an app recommendation thread for the Mac, similar to the iOS threads? I'm looking for a simple, straightforward Mac app to enter notes and to-do items which get synced with a companion iOS app.

Yes! Currently downloading it
Can't wait to try it out in VMWare Fusion/ Parallels Desktopbadcrumble

Hopefully DP3 will be stable enough for everyday use, because I wanna try it out, but it doesn't sound like it's there yet.

couple of changes in DP3 here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=14740927&postcount=480
Among them:
- When closing an unsaved document, the "Don't Save" button has been renamed to "Delete." (Which I think makes more sense.)
- new Alerts panel in Calendar preferences. You can set default alerts for each calendar account, each event type (all day vs. timed events vs. birthdays), and set whether you want those alert settings only for the Mac you're on or all your devices.
- You can create folders inside folders in iCloud.

Updated to DP3, and as expected it is quite quick and fluid, however I am experiencing some unexpected behavior that I don't see in the Known Issues, and would like to find out if it is just my machine.
It seems that Terminal and Safari no longer save my state in ML. I get new windows after I quit and relaunch, this is different in behavior than Lion and DP1 and DP2. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks.
Edit: Turns out Apple changed the default behavior when they added the "Close windows when quitting applications" option in general. =/

Is Lion worth upgrading from Snow Leopard to? I can't really see why.
Probably lots of feedback from people to change it after their porn sites kept showing up after quitting the browser.

Are you running Safari or Chrome. This is important since I believe Flash comes with Chrome standard and I want to be careful that a version not from Adobe doesn't try and run on its own in ML.
I like the looks of ML a lot though still being a Mac n00b, I am just still getting used to Lion (currently running 10.7.3 as I'm sure a lot of people are).
I enjoy lion fine, but what would you say are some of the big under the hood changes?
I like fullscreen and iCloud a lot, but most of the other changes are pretty small. Remind of all the changes.
Safari. If you run Chrome, you won't deal with Adobe.

So this:Teehee, Flash tried to autoupdate from the browser but Gatekeeper killed it. Even trying to run the installer in the dmg was blocked.
You can open unsigned apps/installers by right clicking though. It then adds an exception so it always allows the unsigned app to run:
doesn't happen anymore?
I'm on a old MacBook Unibody and I think ML may be even smoother than Snow Leopard right now. It has a number of graphical glitches though, mostly concerning Safari and the MenuBar at boot. This OS is seems like it is going to be great.
This is awesome. I,m on an old non-unibody MacBook pro, and snow leopard was great. Shut down was so fast, wake up was fast. Lion is much slower in those regards. Hoping mountain lion is lion's snow leopard!
Absolutely. 2011 Mac mini.
Nope.So this:
doesn't happen anymore?
Yes. It's back to 10.6 level of snappiness for me on a 2011 MBP.

Not actually that important
Still no official date? Will it be before the end of June, what do you think?
If I remember correctly, Apple never announced Lion's release date until the day it came out.
I think June might be too early, probably late July alongside new Macs.

I hope so, I have a 2010 13" base model MBP, and everything was so quick and and fast with snow leopard but that changed with lion
Trust me it is, at least at the moment. I've got only 2GB in an original 13" unibody 2ghz machine, and it has never been faster. Pretty much everything launches on a single bounce, iTunes is still the slowest app but there shouldn't be any surprise there.
If I were to guess why it is much quicker... it seems to me that they have been rewriting parts of the graphics subsystem moving it over from Compatibility to the new Core GL that they introduced with Lion. At the moment there are a number of graphical glitches and would not recommend installing on a machine you actually want to use, but boy does it ever run smooth right now. Your system IIRC has the same GPU as mine, so you have nothing to worry about IMO.
Nope.
Yes. It's back to 10.6 level of snappiness for me on a 2011 MBP.
10.6.8 snappy?

do you have airplay enabled on your laptop? they said it wasn't going to be available for older models
iirc AirPlay won't work on any pre-2010 model.

07 iMac club represent! I'll be replacing mine with the Ivy Bridge upgrade when those come out, though, if there's a new form factor.
I don't yet own an AppleTV so I haven't even tried. My guess is that this machine may not be supported due to it being a measly C2D. I think I will take my machine to my friends place and try it when I get a chance later this week, I expect audio streaming to at least work.

Can't wait for this and iOS6. Should be heavenly. Also don't get the hate for Lion. Easily the best version of OSX Ive ever used, could never go back to SL. Been rock solid and fast as hell since launch for me.
Also, I REALLY hope they implement a tagging system for iCloud as an option instead of folders.

Hoping to upgrade to a Retina-equipped Haswell 15" MacBook Pro myself. Hopefully with a cool but powerful GPU that can run any game I would ever really want to on it.
