I guess the biggest feature I like is notification center. Surprising as I was pretty annoyed when they first announced it. I thought "great, now even more distractions"– I was sure this was a feature I was going to hate. But I've noticed it saves a lot of time– you don't spend time switching from app to app checking what email came in or what's next on the calendar. At a glance I can quickly move on...

Heads up for anyone planning to install ML on a OCZ Petrol SSD, don't bother! Turns out they're not fully supported in Mountain Lion and I've now sent my Mac Pro into a booting loop and am unable to get the desktop unless it's in Safe Mode.
- that sucks, firmware update coming soon?– ernexbcn1/3

  Not sure. Nothing from OCZ yet, except a lot of pissed customers ranting on their forum.– zombee3/3

So if i currently have 10.5 installed, I need to buy 10.6, update to 10.7, then purchase 10.8? That doesn't sound very Appley.
- technically you should be able to install on a blank machine– monospaced1/3
  yup– Christian2/3
  i'm in the same boat and oyu can't get 10.6 in stores anymore. pain in my ass.– fiver3/3

So Safari is one of the best things and I just installed it on my 10.7 work machine. It's in Software Update. That's dope.

I'm finding it very solid and fast, though I've made the transitions faster in mission control, launchpad etc... taken out all of the silly animations when opening up applications, window sheets etc.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one yet:
Power Nap
When your Mac goes to sleep, it still gets things done with Power Nap.3 It periodically updates Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Notes, Photo Stream, Find My Mac and Documents in the Cloud. When your Mac is connected to a power source, it downloads software updates and makes backups with Time Machine. While all that updating is going on, the system sounds are silent and no lights or fans come on, so nothing disturbs you. And when your Mac wakes up, it’s good to go.
I care not for checking email and so forth, as my ipad and phone do that fine - what I like is the fact that it will back up discreetly even if the machine is sleeping. Would be awesome if dropbox could also take advantage of this feature..
- this is just for the new retina mbp's right?– fourth1/3
  Its a mountain lion feature, requires a firmware update on some machines as well as an SSD– tOki2/3
  SSD probably rules out more than 90% of computers.– CyBrainX3/3

What's with the giant tabs in Safari 6? So stupid looking when you have two huge tabs side by side like that.
- Agreed. I hope it changes.– mg331/6
  They just keep tinkering with things for no reason.– CanHasQBN2/6
  Already got used to it. No big deal.

  Weird how many times they've tweaked safaris tabs over the years– animatedgif4/6
  Probably a usability thing. Can't say I'm bothered at all, but I did notice it.– Raniator5/6

Ok...where is the Activity Window in Safari?
- It's gone, enable the developer menu (preferences > advanced) and use page resources– ernexbcn1/3
  The activity window was more useful to download videos embedded in flash though– ernexbcn2/3
  Yeah. Or jpegs.– GRAC3/3

In Safari, they need to put those big tabs at the top of the browser, like in Chrome. It looks redundant to have the title of the page at the top, and then again in the tab, especially when the tabs are so large. It's also a waste of vertical space.
- Good point.– Gucci1/4
  <– inteliboy2/4
  It looks ridiculous when you just have one tab open. There's no separation between the bookmarks bar & the tab.– CanHasQBN3/4
  They tried putting tabs on top briefly and it didn't work well.– Nathan_Adams4/4

Welp. I just switched to Chrome after being a loyal Safari user since it came out.
The predictably of where a tab is going to be is important. I gotta visually reference them quickly.
And in Chrome, I like that if I have a million tabs open, I can still see them all. With Safari, you have to resort to clicking the little dropdown at the edge of the browser to access additional tabs.
- I can also scroll through a Flash area without my cursor catching and halting the scrolling.– CanHasQBN1/2
  Why the hell didn't I switch earlier??– CanHasQBN2/2

Who knows where I can find a copy of 10.6 Snow Leopard? Because I need it in order to update to Lion and whatever is next. They don't sell it in stores anymore.
- if you have a computer capable of being upgraded to Lion, you should already have it– monospaced1/4
  go to an apple store see if they will upgrade you?– ArmandoEstrada2/4
  just make sure you CAN upgrade to Mountain Lion first– monospaced3/4
  I'm 90% sure I can, it's a MBP from 2008. Still a pretty great machine– letterhead4/4

How long does it take to install?
- I left it downloading overnight on my mid 2010 iMac. Took about 30 minutes while I got ready in the morning to install.– Gucci

After a few solid days of farting around with this thing, it seems a tad slower than snow leopard. I've installed iStat Menu and it lets me know that a process called "mds" (which is spotlight) is running in the background using up 300 megs of ram constantly. It never did that before to the best of my knowledge. Bah.
- That's because it's indexing for the first time, I believe. This allows for real-time search results later on.– monospaced1/3
  spotlight might have choked indexing? Is it using any processor?– animatedgif2/3
  300 megs might be vram remember, not real ram– animatedgif3/3
