#PURCHASE OS X MOUNTAIN LION FULL#
If Lion was Apple’s first tentative step down the road towards a unification of iOS and OS X concepts, Mountain Lion is the company hitting full stride. So although my preview of Mountain Lion in February held significant promise, I still approached the final build we were given to review with some hesitancy. Worse, it sometimes felt a little slower too. Lion, by contrast, represented Apple’s first steps down a different path - the company literally said it was bringing iOS interface concepts like gestures and fullscreen apps “back to the Mac.” Some of the changes were drastic, some were minor, but in the end Lion never felt as tightly polished and cohesive as Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard was in many ways the pinnacle of a previous era of computing: a fast, stable, reliable desktop operating system that bore no trace of influence from Apple’s enormously successful iOS products.
Sure, I installed it on my iMac at home and played around with gestures on a Magic Trackpad, but my workhorse 15-inch MacBook Pro remained stubbornly on Snow Leopard, Apple’s previous version of OS X.
I have a confession to make before I begin this review of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion: I never really used or liked OS X Lion.
