Mountain Lion Sucks

I have to agree with post #2. Seriously, if you have apps that are most important to you then you need to do some ***** research to ensure those apps will work. There was and is a large thread discussing the various beta releases of the OS and I am 100% certain that you could have asked the devs of your apps to ensure they were ready.
You are not fit to be a launch day upgrader, clearly. If you cannot perform the most basic tasks that are standard procedure before upgrading an OS then you need to wait out the first or second revision to ensure you get what you need.
Apple sucks in some ways but in this case this is no one's fault but your own.

I think you are gonna have 10,000 times harder time finding stuff and make them work
That is one of the reasons I dropped linux. Too much time spent finding work arounds.
While I do think the OP is a bit overboard in his response to his issues, it is not without irony that I note an awful lot of ma fans are making the same defense of Mountain Lion that windoze fans were making following criticism of Vista-- only to be mocked by Mac fans.
I am pretty much OS agnostic so I really don't care what operating system I am using, so I find the whole my os is better than your os tiresome, but at times like this it is at least amusing....

I upgraded last night, went smooth and everything works perfectly, just as it did before I upgraded. I even gained back about 10 Gig of HD.
Wait an hour. Once Spotlight finishes its re-index everything goes back to normal, as you've most likely discovered by now
ML is awesome. My MBP cold boots in 12 seconds to the login screen. I wish I could default Safari to full screen without the restore feature turned on. Anyone know some plist entries for that one?
Well they can,... if you give them a toy where they have to suck out the meat!!!
I'm pretty agnostic too, but I don't think anyone would equate Vista and ML! Even diehard Windows fans will admit that Vista was the Windows ME of the modern era, while ML is a slicker version of Lion with some worthwhile extra features.
I still run one or two apps in Win 7 (in Parallels) and think it's an excellent OS.
In the Snow Leopard days, I said there was little to choose between the two. Lion put OSX significantly ahead for me, mostly due to the trackpad gestures (one of those improvements that sounds small but makes a massive difference to everyday use). ML puts OSX further ahead. I'll wait for the release version of Win 8 to see how that changes the comparison (I'm not brave enough for betas!).
I can print just fine
No lag in scrolling
Not slow everything
Well done Apple
USER ERROR once again
Wow, you got me on this one. PEBKAC?
Prior Extensive Book Knowledge Always Counts?
Probably Even Burger King Allows Catsup?
Portable Electrocardiogram Batteries Kill Another Coroner?
Palpable Excitement By Kids Around Christmas?

I find it interesting that he can afford a 2k dollar laptop but complains about spending 49.99 to upgrade his ancient software that's not compatible with the latest OS.
Kind of like the Office XP users complaining that it doesn't work with windows 7.

Probably, for not making the OS reverse-compatible with some Apps in Lion and Snow Leopard.

mountain lion doesn't suck the OP sucks, because all his complaints are not ML's fault, it's his fault he's a mac noooob!
1. VM ware is a third party app, and it would work if you paid for the upgrade.
2. just disable gate keeper in the system preferences (like everyone else).
I'm surprised that you didn't include the fact that ML doesn't automatically wipe your ass for you as one of your complaints.
