Just had that problem.
WiFi working great on the latest revision of Mountain Lion.
Suddenly, it stopped working. I had to go through hoops to get it to reconnect. I think what fixed it was unplugging and resetting the router.
So, yeah, there may be some WiFi quirks here.

new features
When you press ALT before clicking on the Apple logo, new options popup.
Same with the bluetooth logo, same with the sound logo.
When you press the Windows logo key while dragging your "logged in name", sound icon, bluetooth icons, etc, it will move it, and make it magically disappear so no longer will you see them anymore (yes bug).
I think ALT is Options key in apple keyboard. The windows flag key should be called something else, I forget.

You are going to have to buy it from the app store, like the lion update. No way its going to be on a software update.
oops
Oh man, I just lost my login name. Can't get it back. So do the above at your own risk. I could get the bluetooth and sound icon by going back to preferences and reclicking the "show in toolbar" or something like that.
Maybe I have to reboot? Also, once you do the above your mac is slow as hell (trying to get your icons back). Like in an infinite loop program is running somewhere.

Using Command and dragging items off the menubar has been a part of OS X forever. As has holding option or shift to view additional, hidden options in various menus.
In order to restore your login name go to System Preferences -> Users and Groups -> Login Options and then enable Show fast user switching menu...
Thanks! saved the day. My problem was not moving it off the system menu, my problem was that when I drag move it left and right, it doesn't go to the new place, but disappear. After reboot, and going into each option to re-enable all the missing icons, I can't get my superdrive (from mac mini) to show up anymore. Do you know how? Apparently this is a corruption bug, it is fixed after reboot. I can't reproduce it. Maybe it is a combination of pressing option and following with command dragging. In any case, how do you get the superdrive eject button back?
Interestingly, scroll bars now appear for Mighty Mouse if you have that set to 'automatic'
Also, just noticed this.

Add an Eject Item to the Menu Bar:
Open a Finder window and navigate to: /System/Library/Core Services/Menu Extras.
Double-click the 'Eject.menu' item in the Menu Extras folder.
It looks like it's supposed to push Twitter updates to Notification Center. Go to /System/Library/CoreServices/SocialPushAgent/Contents/Resources and you'll see icons related to Twitter. Not sure if it's fully working yet, or if they plan to support other social networks in the future.
New kernel panic flow. Instead of the old black shade falling down on the screen and then relying on the user to read the message and manually restart the machine, when a panic happens the machine immediately shuts itself off and reboots to a new panic screen as part of the startup process. It's the normal grey background with a slightly darker grey text on top (it was actually a little hard to read). The message text has been changed slightly, but still notifies the user that something happened and rather than giving user instructions on how to get the computer running again it said it would finish booting in a few seconds. It dismissed before I could take a picture.
I think I like this. Helps minimize downtime, for example if a panic happens when you're away the machine can boot itself back up afterward. Also should help prevent a lot of "user panics" generally accompanied a kernel panic as the user could miss the event entirely and they aren't expected to do anything as part of the recovery process.
Just another example of Apple paying attention to details.

Ah yeah, so it does. Seems weird since we already have "Twitter" in Notification Centre anyway. Could be an accident that it's displayed in settings I guess
I don't think this has been pointed out yet. Safari now shows the new tab + button in line with the bookmarks bar if the tab bar isn't showing.

Or Apple is trying to fool us and it's meant to be part of some social network that they're creating in-house. Then again, Ping was a pretty big failure.
I see a couple other services that look like they aren't meant to be there. I think this is just a cosmetic bug as you suggested.
Gotta love the redundancy in the version numbers.
After installing this, and going to the recovery partition and selecting the Reinstall option, the menubar reads "Install OS X Mountain Lion Preview 4." This must be what DP3 + updates is being called? The build of OS X the partition is running is 12A206l.

This is there since Lion. But I am not quite sure about the window that appears after restarting. Sadly Lion never froze on me

No, they're still considered as DP3 even with the updates. I think they're prepping for the DP 4 release soon, or at least at WWDC.
Are you using a real Mac? All the "features" you mentioned have long existed.
In other news, a mountain lion ventured into the center of a crowded Southern California city (Santa Monica) on Tuesday, and was shot and killed when authorities had trouble corralling the animal in the courtyard of a building, police said. That kind of publicity stunt would NEVER have happened under Steve
