Slightly off-topic, and I don't know if it's mentioned yet, but Safari for Windows seems to be discontinued? http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ "Hmm, the page you?re looking for can?t be found."

I would wait until the dust settles before making a rash comment like that :p I doubt they would discontinue it (although I don't think it has a lot of users...)

edit: this link still works fine to download a version that was updated in May http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1531

It looks like the http://www.apple.com/osx/ is not updated fully yet too, as it still says coming in July.

edit: sorry that old (coming in july) text was only in my browser cache.

Might be cached for you, it says available on the Mac App Store for me

Well, they haven't been adding any major new features to it for a while. Extensions were the only one to be fair.

Is there any official guide how to burn the .app file to the pen drive? I know i can be done seen it before but not sure how I go about doing it? and how do I boot off the pen drive? this is my first time!

What's the build number for Mountain Lion Final? I take it, it's different to the GM build? (12A269)

I'll know with complete certainty in a little bit, but the Developer Portal says 12A269 is the final.

Does upgrading to Mountain Lion also update the recovery partition?

I'd assume so

I'm not going to update till later tonight or tomorrow though, give the servers a chance to cool down and work faster :yes:

It finished updating a little bit ago. I repaired permissions after. Safari actually seems a bit slower to me. =(

If it doesn't improve over the next couple days, I'll just do a clean install and that is why I was asking if the recovery partition was updated or if I should use internet recovery. Lol

What is up with the website? I did NOT reply twice. Those two posts as I see them were typed all in the same reply.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
