Going to wait a couple of weeks until the first updates are out and issues ironed out before I upgrade.

Hmm, tonight the planet will be sitting before the TV watching some kind of event in London. Might be a good time to set up a really big download ...
Started my download last night at 9, still had 3 hours left when I left for workI paused it though, was a bit afraid that something funky might happen.

My 2 downloads plus the Aperture and iPhoto upgrades went smoothly and rapidly, thanks to MWEB'S 4 MB uncapped connection.Originally Posted by SirMCDeats

is it possible that apple didn't charge me for mountain lion. clicked on buy app and it told me i had already bought mountain lion. nothing has come through on my credit card.
Do NOT construe anything I type as advice
Anyone made use of the free upgrade option?
It doesn't allow me to enter my country - so has my suburb in the Western Cape, and then by default, the country as USA...

Moron. It never occurred to me to go to the local Apple website. So here will be me trying this through the ZA store, having bought the MBP in Canada, and using a USA Apple account.
[Went in through the ZA site this morning - received the automatic email a few minutes later. Joy! Will download this evening - might need to top-up on my cap though!]

I'm on 1 MB uncapped so it took a bit longer
Mine did the same thing, almost got excited, but the payment went through two days later.

Did any of you guys have issues with the app store.I did a clean install of mlion but when I wanted to redownload all my purchased apps the app store did not want to connect I could not even log in yet the iTunes store worked fine.
Alex has had an update, he sounds quite a bit more natural. The nuance voices have supposed also been updated to v.2 but i havent tried them yet.
I'ver been trying to try the ones I have. But they get bundled into a 1.5 GB d/l that you cannot pause or resume. Looks like they are still coming off the same pathetic Nuance servers. Get halfway and the download just gives up. Meanwhile it blocks the App store from doing anything else.
D/ling ML took me two days. Apart from that, it must be the easiest OS upgrade in history. Tell it on what disk to install, then go and make coffee.
I've noticed some problems. Safari would not open until I removed Glims; an ML-compatible Glims beta is already available. Some eye-candy apps like Desktop Shelves are a little sluggish. That will undoubtedly get fixed. Otherwise, a good $20 investment. Just having iCloud actually work with Pages is worth it for me.
ML is a refinement of Lion, not an eye-popping, life-altering event. Little touches that makes you ask "why didn't they get that right a year ago?" No reason not to upgrade if you've learned to live with Lion and even like it.
If you detest Lion and everything it stood for, well, then you are going to have a problem. The list of kludges to roll things back to how Snow Leopard looked is only going to get longer and longer.
Just pulled the trigger on the download. Will everyone kindly get off the internet now, so that I can finish up before Christmas. 2014.
Thanks.
[Oh bother. Paused at 4.1 gigs - won't resume. FML - looks like I'll need to start all over again... Looks like I might end up spending $19.99 on bandwidth topups in any event... Ha ha]

I installed Lion on my MacBook but not on my Macbook Pro, and hated it, so I kept Snow Leopard on my MackBook Pro. I now want to upgrade to Mountain Lion on my MBP.
Do you guys think it's worth the upgrade? Is it better than Lion which was just plain buggy?
I believe posters are recognised by their sig... so I made one.
Depends - was it just the bugginess that deterred you from using Lion (the bugginess was largely ironed after the first dot release btw)?
Personally I preferred Lion to SL by a long shot and I'm really enjoying ML. There are usually plenty of niggles when it comes to update like this but I havent come across any yet.

Can I upgrade or do I need a full new install?
