I am running lion and I have the graphite option.

Could anybody with the Developer Preview installed tell if iCal creates new events in the selected calendar (as in Snow Leopard and earlier), or if it creates events in the standard calendar selected in the preferences (as in Lion)?
I guess, Im not the only one whos slightly annoyed by this standard calendar behaviour in Lion, am I?

This is a setting in iCal Preferences. Choose "Selected Calendar" as the Default Calendar option.
Hmmmm... Really? Well then I suppose I must be entirely mistaken. I don't recall ever seeing that. Sorry! Thanks for the correction.
Btw, in TextEdit, you can select the title bar, press Rename, and type the new file name right there without having to go into the Finder to Save As!!! Finally!!!
You can also Move to iCloud if the file isn't in iCloud, or move to the Finder in a place of your choice.
Renaming the file though is something I have been waiting for! Would still be nice to be able to double click the name to rename it, but that might conflict with other behavior.

I'm running mountain lion dev 2 on a partition on an external firewire 800 drive. I've noticed that everything runs very smoothly. I'm especially enjoying safari, I like the new url bar as well as scrolling in safari is very smooth. So far I haven't noticed a single bug, no hang ups at all. I ran geekbench and am getting a score of 8436.
I have only been using dev 2 for about 2 hours. I've opened multiple programs at once without any slowdowns or hang ups. To be honest it's running smoother than Lion is, which in on the internal hard drive. However I'm sure I'll find a few bugs alone the way.

I would like to believe that's because they improved performance so much, but I'm afraid it might be because it's such a fresh install - you didn't copy all your apps and stuff over from Time Machine, right?
I have a friend who is a Mac developer and I was allowed to try out Mountain Lion on his Mac. I hadn't tried it before, but wow, the people who say it's snappier than Lion really are right.
I mean, before using Mountain Lion, you really don't notice how sluggish Lion had become at common operations; things like opening "About my Mac", simple Finder windows, Preview documents, and going full-screen are just considerably more fluid.
Although I have to say, he didn't install 10.8 on his iMac, so I only tried it with his MacBook Pro (13"), and the only notebook I own is an aluminium MacBook, so that could be the reason it seems a lot zippier, but still.

I don't think he had his casual apps installed. Perhaps some development tools, iWork & iLife, but apart from that, nothing I remember.
No I didn't copy all of my info over. However my Lion install is about 2 months old (did a fresh install) and the only software installed is from the app store and perian. My 1.2 TB itunes content is on an another external hard drive.
I can't say all aspects of mountain lion is faster on an external. For instance powering up the computer takes longer, since I have 3 externals that need to start up and since the OS is running off one of them. However I can't deny that Mountain Lion feels snappier. Safari especially has gotten a huge boost.
That's what if feels like to me. I haven't found any bugs or had any crashes.
Can I get someone else who has mountain lion to verify something for me. In lion, when you go to the power settings, isn't there an option to stop external hard drives from going to sleep? I am not seeing anything like that in ML.

There is no option for external drives, but there is an option for drives in general to spind down after some time (15 minutes usually i think) to conserve power.
I've just installed DP2, and I'm not seeing this for some reason.
One thing I noticed is that it appears that Launchpad no longer spans the entire width of my display. I don't have a trackpad or gestures enabled to toy with the spacing, so it seems the default arrangement may have changed.
