I'm in the process of moving out of the Apple universe, so like Chris Betcher I will not be upgrading anything to Mountain Lion, Apple's next operating system. I think Apple is done innovating and is moving into the "lock in" phase of the business cycle. As nearly as I can tell, Mountain Lion continues Apple's efforts to push its users toward its dysfunctional cloud environment (seriously: me.com has been nothing but slowness and headaches) and limits on what sort of sotware I can run on my computer. Yes, I'm still using the MacBook Pro laptop, but my next laptop will probably be something else. My phone/iPod is already Android, which I like a lot. And I'm dealing with Windows 7 on my desktop (not sor sure about Windows 8 though). More on Mountain Lion from Steve Borsch.
