#2Something very odd is happening at Apple. Either there is a massive shortage of developers (unlikely) or developers have been moved to a new project (AppleTV ?).
Because Mountain Lion and iOS6 are by far the most underwhelming updates yet in terms of features.

Eh. OS X has been on somewhat of a tick-tock update cycle since Leopard. Add features then refine them.
Also, it's twenty bucks.

#4Anybody know if Messages has improved? The beta I'm using is buggy as hell.

What exactly would have been overwhelming?

The cost has nothing to do with the product, that's determined based on other factors, like how many Mac's OSX sells. There's no straightforward relationship between price number of features.
The direction appears to be cheap upgrades, and merging feature sets between IOS and OSX so eventually there's one operating system that changes in unison.

Does the amount of stuff added matter? If the quality is good I honestly don’t care.
Lion was a bit of a dud. Mountain Lion doesn’t add much but it improves massively on Lion. It corrects its mistakes. I’m very much ok with that, I don’t need flashy new features. I really don’t want Apple to start pulling features out of there ass (especially now that they switched to a yearly update cycle), mere refinements every year for something mature like OS X would be awesome.

They have also moved to an 18 month release cycle for OS X[1], so we should not expect huge swathes of changes in each release.

#10Can anyone comment if airplay is disabled on pre 2011 macs? I'm going to be royally pissed if airplay is disabled because I'm missing some BS drm chip. Hopefully the era of "Jailbreaking" macs has not started.
