JK-

Looks like you missed the window for a free SL copy - Apple has put it back in the Apple Store for $19 - you need SL to get the app store to get the Mtn Lion from the app store :>(((

So now it's a $38 upgrade for you....


No Tom I have Snow Leopard as my main install OS but I also have machines with Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion on other machines.

The reason why I have SL as my primary OS is that it gives me all I need and I dont have to hunt where stuff is as they put extra security on to stop the 'stupid users' from breaking their machines.
My view is that if somebody wants to hack and break their Apple machine then they deserve to not be able to use it. And to have to pay to get it fixed.
If a Windows user does the same then they get the pain of a rebuild from scratch.

My rationale is simple in that Apple stuff is so much easier and more user friendly that if you have broken it then you deserve what you got.
Windows stuff is so much more likely to break that I do feel sorry for people when it breaks.
