Cheap, iCloud enhancements are great, new Safari is excellent, Notifications proved handy
Removal of RSS feeds from Safari and Mail, iMessage needs work, Rating:
Although we had a couple of niggles with the Mountain Lion update, such as the confusing iMessage app and the inability to test Apple's new Airplay feature on our ageing 2009 Macbook Pro, the £13.99 outlay is well worth it....
Mountain Lion Server turns traditional serving on its head: it is almost stupidly cheap, it has no artificial client limits, it is almost sinfully easy to implement, and it instals on any Mac capable of running Mountain Lion. If you need to provide s...
Apple’s Notification Centre works like a charm, popping up alerts in a sidebar reminiscent of the notification tray on your iPhone. You can mute it whenever you want, and even integrate the popular Growl service in too, so all of your existing apps will work with with it. iCloud meanwhile now automatically keeps your documents stored safely online lest your MacBook get nicked, as well as Notes an
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.

New apps that match iOS counterparts, Extensive cloud, based sync features, Great new social sharing aspects, New Gaming Centre and AirPlay Mirroring, Well thought out security features
Trivial inconsistencies in the interface
Year after year, we're more and more impressed by OS X, and Mountain Lion continues Apple's tradition of building on its strengths, innovating wherever it needs to, yet preserving continuity wherever it can. There are interface niggles here, but very few...

Notifications, Low impact of Gatekeeper, Share sheets, Mission Control better, AirPlay mirroring
Awkward iCloud documents, iMessages needs work, Tab View too restricted, No custom Finder groups, Finder icons still mono
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...
