10.8 GM Build out...

maybe your right but its likely easier to sell all those features as a bundle for $19 and call it an OS, as long as apple doesn't start charging $300 for an operating system I'm fine with 1 or 2 new things

yup
iWork will get updated the day Mountain Lion officially launches to support Documents in the Cloud
Seriously? Show me a laptop from July 2002 that could wirelessly stream HD Video to a TV or Projector.
This feature alone is going to make 10.8 a huge success.
i've had a few bugs. the cursor randomly disappearing and my External NTFS drives aren't showing up in finder but are showing up in System Profiler
My source is common sense. The present iWork apps don't support documents in the cloud. Mountain Lion brought/activated support for document syncing to the OS. There's no point apple releasing the updated apps until mountain lion's release, because the GM is only for devs to use for testing their apps against, so there's no point issuing the update to iWork yet. Just like last year, when iWork was updated for full screen mode etc on Lion's release, it will be updated again the day Mountain Lion is released.
I'm very happy that Expose is back in ML but there is a feature that I think is gone or I don't know how to activate.
In lion, if I activate Mission Control on a dock icon, it shows me a list of recent items or a minimized application. I'm trying this in ML but I can't get it to appear. Did they take this feature out?

I'm pretty sure what you're referring to is "App Expose" I'm not sure if they've removed it. I don't think they have, not at my MacBook so I can't check at the minute. Have you tried a long mouse click on the icon, or swiping three fingers down on the icon? Also, check your mission control settings in system preferences, it might have been deactivated there
Yeah I tried everything. Three fingers up, down, even four fingers up, down. Nothing in the mission control settings either.
EDIT: Ah, I found it in the trackpad settings. Sorry about that. It's disabled by default.
If you're gonna spam a webforum with your insignificant updates about how annoyed you are with people posting things, you should stop reading forums.
Mountain Lion doesn't feel like a refreshed operating system AT ALL in my opinion. The main visual change is the notifications center, but beside that it's still Lion. They should have just waited another year and come out with something that is actually an upgrade.
Been running DP3, DP4, and now the GOLD, and I agree with you completely........
Two words: Gate Keeper. This has huge implications and is probably the single most important change brought about in mountain lion. Also, the changes to the open and save dialogue is the most dramatic since the inception of OS X.
NO you can't, at least not for now:
"Welcome to AppleSeed. We now use your Apple ID as a single login for all AppleSeed activities. We are not seeking new participants. You must have an invitation in order to log in."
Only the ML one really seems to work, the Windows one is only good for a laugh at parties.
They have a new stdlib memory allocator and application signing. I do agree that a new filesystem is long overdue. Different multithreading code? What for?
Should work, the installesd.dmg file is still accessible within the installer package.
You might be right but that's the reason why it's only 19.99
Don't you think that the upgrade from Lion to ML is quite the same as from Leopard to SL? So why wait with new features for an additional year just to have more really new features?
Tried the AirPlay mirroring with my ATV last night and was very impressed. I have used AirParrot previously to do this and never had an issue but I like that it is now built into the OS and performs very well indeed.
There are differences though, Mountain Lion's implementation automatically changes the ratio of your desktop to match the ATV so that it can be scaled up fully on the TV, AirParrot never did this and kept the ratio the same meaning you had more of a boxed window on your TV. AirParrot does have some extra functionality though such as letting you pick a single app to share and also to turn off audio.
One thing with Mountain Lion though, when you end the AirPlay session, I get a blue screen on my MBP for a couple of seconds before the desktop returns to normal. Not sure if this is normal or a bug?

Mountain Lion GM edition runs like a cheetah (VERY FAST) here, but I disabled all the useless features like:
* GateKeeper
* Notification centre
* Time Machine
* Spotlight
* Automatic updates
... and everything else I don't need or use (and runs in background) with my DAW based Mac (Cubase, Live and Reason).
LOVE IT

Do you have the command prompt for it?
Thanks.
