I wonder if I'll have to turn my 2006 MacBook into a Hackintosh to run it. That would be very disappointing.

For those of us running the GM version do we need to get the app store version in order to get updates?

No, a GM is just like the released version.

If you bought one of the updated models from June 2012, don't forget you can get the upgrade for free: http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/

I have the new model. I don't see an option to select a macbook air when choosing the mac type. Guess I will be on call with apple..

I selected "MacBook" for my MB Air, and it worked, which is weird because I don't think they make plain MacBooks anymore.

They also ask for the address of the reseller, but I purchased mine from Amazon, so I just entered my address.

No, it's not. At least, not yet. "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)"

You may have to click the "Buy" button a second time. I live in Europe so I'm used to seeing prices with added VAT. When I launched the app store, however, my item was priced at the U.S. price of $19.99. However, after getting this error once, the app store was reloaded with the correct price tag and a functional buy button.

I'm going to avoid clicking too many times - Apple has previous in charging people multiple times, e.g. when Lion was released last year [1].

Am I the only one who had problem installed the GM (dev. final release) with FileVault 2 enabled? Anyone can confirms he had difficulties installing from the MAS too with FV 2 or it worked flawlessly?

I got this error, too, on my German account. I tried several times.

My US account worked fine, though. Darn you, Apple, for being so un-global.

Interesting to note they're using the "old" Twitter logo on http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html (right at the bottom).

Twitter's official iOS app is also using the old logo: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/twitter/id333903271?mt=8

AirPlay won't work unless you have a 2011 or 2012 Mac. This is highly disappointing.

Awww man, that is a letdown. Airplay was the thing I was most looking forward to in Mountain Lion. I have a late 2010 MBP. :(

How easy is it to revert to your previous version if you don't like it ?

Make sure Time Machine is working and up to date on your current Lion install. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a Lion recovery USB stick (just in case).

Try out Mountain Lion.

If you don't like it, boot off recover partition/disk and restore from your old Lion Time Machine backup.
