I bought it for my 24" iMac but I am waiting for the confirmation for my 2 week old Macbook Pro so I can get the free update.

Don't know how long that will be though.

Installed without any problems here. Safari seems a bit snappier but not much else to report.

Had my first Kernel Panic with 10.8 Mountain Lion. Had lots with 10.7.4 which resulted in a downgrade to 10.7.3. I'll see how the next few days pan out but I'm losing the spirit Apple at the mo.

Haven't had one for those for ages, not since Tiger.

I'd suspect a hardware issue, or something corrupt that isn't getting updated. Have you tried a completely clean install?

I vaguely recall kernel panics. Win2k pre-SP2 iirc.

found no problems yet

I think one of the chief drivers for the switch to usual smaller updates was to remove the scope for killer bugs and thus encourage take-up (taking a lesson from iOS).

MS is sticking with the "Big Bang" approach. Will be interesting to see how they compare.

I thought the main driver was for Apple to keep on fleecing it's customer base with effective paid for updates.

Given I paid £45 for win7 2 qand a half years ago and won't be updating to 8 the MS approach looks a lot more cost effective.

£21 + £14 = £39 (Lion and M Lion prices)

Last time I looked £35 was still less than £45.

Now troll off.

Definitely get your machine checked out, check the RAM first then the hard drive, you should not be having these. I haven't had one since 10.2 or 10.3 and that was due to a torrent client.

And how much will the next "version" of the OS will cost, possibly more that the £6 difference.

Over the whole lifetime of Win7, the Apple model WILL cost more.

Bought it mainly for the airplay so that I could watch non iTunes material on Apple TV, but can't use it as my iMac is too old. It's less than 2 years old! Very disappointed.
