According to the stats from, Lion users account for about 35% of the market, Snow Leopard users about 34%, and Mountain Lion users about 20%. Speaking of which, what exactly is the breakdown of Mac users in August 2012? It's only been a month since Mountain Lion was released, but clearly upgrading is happening pretty quickly. However, I'm still pissed that Apple hasn't made a version of iCloud available for the many folks still on Snow Leopard. I can no longer sync my Safari bookmarks automagically, for example. One of the main reasons to upgrade is to take advantage of iCloud, which has become a more serious need now that Apple took MobileMe away from us.

Mountain Lion: Finder sidebar lets users decide how to organize the sections. Spotlight is searchable while it's building the index. Safari improvements: Tabs, downloads, among others. Now the default is off, and Apple has provided a system preference option to help control this behavior as well. Change in default setting for opening new windows on login. Improved Mail client: Many improvements, including finally providing the option to show previews on the right-hand side. Quick Look feature in Spotlight: You can preview docs right from the Spotlight results list. In addition, I've found more things to like. Most of the reasons I had for not liking Lion still stand, but a couple have been remedied. So here it is again: Should I? Why not?Īpple did improve Lion during the course of its life, and Mountain Lion seems like a logical and relatively smooth update. As noted in an earlier article explaining why I've avoided Lion, this is the first time since Mac OS X debuted in 2001 that I've hesitated to upgrade. Now that I've effectively passed Lion by, I'm thinking again about whether or not to upgrade from Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).
