As annoying as it might be to create yet another account with yet another web-based service, we highly recommended it. Me address, which, as the system points out several times, cannot be changed later on. Early on in the installation process, you'll be asked to sign into or create an iCloud account, choosing your. Predictably, 10.8 sees a much deeper integration with Apple's revamped service. Mountain Lion marks the first major OS X release since since the public version of iCloud rose from the ashes of MobileMe last fall. (Heck, there isn't even an image of a mountain lion to choose from in the default wallpapers.) The version available to developers today should address some of the kinks we encountered during our testing, not that we suffered all that many hiccups. We got our hands on an early version of the OS - so early, in fact, that it's something of a pre-developer build. This time out, the mobile influence is far more robust, baked in to the point that it will almost certainly force upgraders to adjust their workflow. Until now, Mission Control has roughly approximated the iPhone's grid layout in a desktop setting - but that feature always felt like a bit of an aside, something the user could safely ignore if he or she saw fit. And we do mean borrowed: the company has cloned some of the best features from its mobile platform.
What can we say? It's more of the same: this release introduces a slew of feature enhancements, and of the ones Apple is highlighting, practically all were borrowed from iOS. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Mountain Lion. Right now, at least, the company's not ready to close the book on chapter X, but it is giving the world a first peek at 10.8. With features like Launchpad and Mission Control, it seemed like it might be the last version Cupertino dropped before finally pulling the trigger on operating system number 11, and perhaps transitioning to something with an even stronger iOS influence. The arrival of Lion (10.7), though, marked a full upgrade. It's a trend that can be traced as far back as 2009's OS X Snow Leopard (10.6), a name designed to drive home the point that the upgrade wasn't so much a reinvention of the wheel as a fine tuning of its predecessor, Leopard. Lately, the company has settled into an evolutionary release schedule, eschewing full-fledged makeovers in favor of packing in lots of smaller changes, many of them quite granular indeed. In the meantime, the outfit has seemingly been content to strip away more and more pomp and circumstance with every subsequent big cat release.
You can bid farewell to the days of Apple's theatrical OS reveals - at least until OS 11 rears its head, anyway. Apple updates EFI firmware on 2010 Macs: offers Lion internet recovery, not much else
