Perhaps Apple took inspiration from the new OS’s namesake when the companyįirst unveiled Mountain Lion last February, announcing the upgrade through selected press outlets but without the fanfare of a press event. Real mountain lions are ambush predators: They sneak up on their prey unannounced for surprise attacks. “Mountain Lion also takes further steps to tie the Mac in more closely with the cloud, a strategy that is also important to Microsoft as they pursue Google’s home field ecosystem advantage.” “In contrast to Microsoft, which is creating an operating system with a split personality in Windows 8, Apple is keeping all Mac apps optimized for a user interface driven by a pointing device,” Rubin said. Windows 8 is slated to be in consumers’ hands by October. Mountain Lion’s arrival comes at the same time Microsoft is prepping an OS update of its own: Mountain Lion delivers support for AirPlay mirroring to the Mac, letting Mac users send their display to an Apple TV. Mountain Lion also includes Messages, née iChat, which now offers support for sending iMessages to other Mac and iOS device users.Īlso making the leap from iOS to the Mac with Mountain Lion is Notification Center, a single spot that assembles alerts from Apple’s apps, along with third-party apps and websites that integrate with the technology. New apps in Mountain Lion include Reminders, Notes, and Game Center, each of which looks like-and syncs seamlessly via iCloud with-its iOS counterpart. Many of the features introduced in the new OS X update will be familiar to anyone with an iOS device.
SPLIT SCREEN MAC MOUNTAIN LION INSTALL
You’ll need an iMac (Mid 2007 or newer), MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer), MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer), Xserve (Early 2009), MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer), Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer), or Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) to install the new operating system. Some Macs that could run Lion can’t run Mountain Lion.
