I depend on shooting tethered and learned my lesson on Snow Leopard. If the other software is compatible, I will upgrade to 10.8. It's difficult to explain to a Client that they can't preview the images on the monitor when they're paying me so much.
urm... wrong section?
anywayz, personally not upgrading, but waiting for the apple store to switch over to ML pre-installed ... then i'll purchase it straight away (not sure if that sounds stupid of rather ordering it then upgrade myself but... oh well)

I voted "soon as I can" but only for one of my devices; my rMBP. I believe it will work very well with ML based on the newness of the device and the reports from testers.
However, my two Minis and my 2009 iMac will not quickly go to ML. In fact, this past weekend I just upgraded my iMac from SL to Lion. That was not pretty. So I will hold off on a few point upgrades to ML before upgrading them.

I upgraded to snow leopard only a few months ago because I needed it to run lightroom 4. If everything works fine I don't install upgrades.
downloaded a lot of p0rn this month so im close to my bandwith limit might have to wait till august

Yes! lol
Probably upgrade in the first couple days, but I plan to take a CCC backup image first, so if anything I use regularly breaks, I can revert and try again after a few point releases.
That's the key; make an image of your current system with Carbon Copy Cloner before you upgrade. This makes the upgrade zero-risk; if anything goes wrong you can revert without losing a thing.
Not to mention, it makes an excellent full backup in the unlikely event that your data gets damaged.

I am already on ML GM and it works beautifully on the rMBP. A few compatibility issues with some older apps, but nothing an update can't fix.
Fortunately for me, all my (Intel-native) 3rd-party software is either ready for Mountain Lion now or will be with a few minor changes. Yes, there is still one PPC-only program I use occasionally, and I must boot into Snow Leopard to run it.
