At this point I only have one real question on my mind: Where the **** is the next major iWork version?!

Was about to forget this one… but seriously !!! What are they doing ? Letting Microsoft release Office 2011 and 2013 or 2014 without even releasing a single iWork version ? iWork is so incomplete, I would never be able to use *just* that at work.

At this point, I hope they bundle an upgraded version of iWork into Mountain Lion for free and call it a new feature. That would be an incentive for a lot businesses, we could really "do things out of the box" with a Mac. Bundling creativity suites is nice, but the rest lacks.

I agree. It's slightly disappointing so far. I don't know much of the development cycle of OS X, but isn't it quite unlikely that they'll throw in something major at this point?

Also, they need to improve the new address bar graphics in Safari. The idea and effect is great but the actual graphic looks very Windows XP.

Apple has probably reserved some features for the Mountain Lion announcement at WWDC

One thing I find annoying when transitioning from Windows to Mac is that I can't right-click and install fonts through the context menu. I have to open up the Font Book app just to have the install dialog to appear and with the large collection I have it's just a hassle.

There's plenty of things they can do better. Add in an Aero snap-like feature and a rearrangeable menubar, for instance.

i know this is a hassle, but wasn't windows like this not too long ago? i remember it always being a hassle to install a font, having to go thru some menu. i think it's different on windows 7 now.


as for osx, they'll probably announce new features at wwdc

Very likely, it would also give developers enough time to work with them a bit before the actual release

When I double-click on a font file, it automatically fires Font Book and asks me to install. Is it really that much of a hassle for you -KJ ?

Speaking of which, Safari 5.2 beta 3 has an annoying bug where the drop shadow of the tabs become ever stronger on mouse-over.

I get that too on Lion.

Ever since Windows XP all you had to do was drag the fonts into the Font folder.

Sorry if this has already been raised (I haven't looked through all 30 something pages)

EVERYTIME my MacBook is either restarted or goes to sleep / wakes back up it resets my desktop wallpaper to the default Mountain Lion one. It is quite possibly the most irritating thing in the world! lol
thinking of going back to Lion just because of this annoying bug. Is it happening to anyone else?
I'm running ML on an early 2011 15" MBP with the 1GB Discreet GFX....

That wallpaper bug popped up in DP2. Is it still there in DP3? I didn't check because my DP3 time was limited severely by the broken graphics drivers.

[Lunfai]

Did they fix the Mission Control with multiple monitors itch? I hate how it manages it in Lion.

[SteveMackinnon]

Oohh! I didn't realise it was fixed. I'm on DP2 still I think?
I will have to upgrade, is it a complete reinstall?

[protocol7]

You can install it over DP2 if you like. Should be fine.

And you're able to do the same in OS X. Always have been.

What's your point?
He was saying that it was new in Win7 when it's been available for 11 years now. Your post just sounds like flame bate.
