New apps that match iOS counterparts, Extensive cloud, based sync features, Great new social sharing aspects, New Gaming Centre and AirPlay Mirroring, Well thought out security features
Trivial inconsistencies in the interface
Year after year, we're more and more impressed by OS X, and Mountain Lion continues Apple's tradition of building on its strengths, innovating wherever it needs to, yet preserving continuity wherever it can. There are interface niggles here, but very few...
