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?

The last time (last rc) I solved it by downloading only the command line tools from dev center.

Weird, that version isn't displaying for me. This is all I get: http://cl.ly/image/411o3o252t3E and none of those versions work on Mountain Lion :(

Same here. I was able to get it to work via the answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9329243/xcode-4-4-command...

This doesn't seem like it is going to change. Ever. The course Apple was on software-wise when Jobs passed away Apple seems terrified of moving away from, even when it was clear at the time that desktop was not getting full attention over iOS. No one in software at Apple seems to have the vision required to make positive changes, rather than cribbing from iOS as the Lions have. Jonny Ive can keep hardware running wel…
I've been considering a fulltime move to Linux for a long time, but have yet to take the plunge- I tried a few years ago, but the driver support for my Macbook was less than great. Now, Lion seems to have slowed down my 2010 Macbook Air- at times it absolutely crawls when I'm positive it never used to. Is there anyone out there running Ubuntu full time who can say how good driver support is? In particular the trackpa…
That's not Lion (same system, OS, identical performance to day 1). I'd fire up Activity Monitor and see what's active when it's slow - there's probably something causing a ton of background I/O.

I've been running the GM since the day it got released (the GM is the same build as the one now for sale), and it's been performing as well as Lion did.
To me Lion seems like it's swapping an awful lot. I take it from your comment that there's been no improvement in this regard?
AirPlay won't work unless you have a 2011 or 2012 Mac. This is highly disappointing.
AirPlay requires a GPU that has hardware h.264 encoding. This is so there isn't a performance hit to compress and send video to the AppleTV. You can download AirParrot if you'd like the functionality to work with a small performance hit.

So, Hacintosh. Any good reason for this limitation?
I suspect the good reason is they didn't want to spend time making the 64-bit kernel support 32-bit EFI and didn't want to create and qualify an EFI update for 64-bit machines that have 32-bit EFI. Likewise, they probably didn't want to spend time supporting a 32-bit kernel when they stopped shipping machines which require it 5-6 years ago.
Anyway, 6 years is a long life for a laptop.
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
Why do I get the feeling that Apple wants to turn my laptop into a big ipad with a keyboard? Facebook sharing, Twitter integration... These features make sense for users like my Mom, but I couldn't care less. Are there any compelling features for developers? Why should I hassle with upgrading, especially after a lot of the stability issues people had when upgrading to Lion? I want to keep being productive, not turn m…
Imagine how Mac Pro users like me feel. Now my Mac Pro feels like a phone. Yippie. I'm staying on Snow Leopard for as long as the hardware works. When it fails, it's time to move on. Linux is looking prettier every day. I don't know what the hardware choices are going to be in 5 years though. If Apple has their way, general computing will go away by the end of the decade.
Although I wish people would stop being so dramatic about the demise of general purpose computing, that's sky-is-falling talk and I don't think it will ever happen.
