Mountain Lion 10.8 Beta Pretty Problematic



OS X Mountain Lion Beta, in short is pretty and not too much different from Lion. With over 100 new features, its quite awesome. Some would say it felt more like iPad or iPhone, I would say, more intuitive.

My experience with it so far is quite love and hate situation. Many software crashes. Many little additions that you'd love too.

The good part, New Features :


Features :
  • Messages
  • Notes
  • Reminders
  • Game Center to the Mac
  • Notification Center
  • Share Sheets
  • Twitter integration
  • AirPlay Mirroring
  • Built with iCloud
  • Integration with Apps
  • Gatekeeper
  • iChat
  • and more
The bad part, for now and many due to incompatibility with older apps:

  • Wifi and Bluetooth intermittently crashes
  • Time Capsules can't back up properly with correct time and date
  • Many software crashes including but not limited to Safari, Skype, VMWare and Words
  • Take over 1 minute to fully turn On from Off if you're using SATA hd
So far, here's some of what I've already submitted to Apple.
I'm pretty satisfied with Mountain Lion. Can't wait to get my hand on the full release cum August 2012.
