I think it will same as to Lion. Here's Chameleon build r1820 with Mountain Lion support

[Riley Freeman]

What's the version number on the nvidia kexts in 10.8? Wondering how/if they work in Lion.

Even better if someone could zip them up and post somewhere.

[RobinSchouten]

Will this version have out of the box support for some AMD processors? Since Apple once said they wanted to use AMD cpus for their products at some time.

[nyolc8]

RobinSchouten: don't expect much

Newer Chameleon with Mountain Lion Support: 2.1 r1822

Is it Lion Service Pack 1 ?

Apple is not Microsoft.
In any case no, it is a new operating system.

Having been a member of this forum for almost 6 years nothing surprises me any longer.
I have read countless posts which sounded like a joke but were not.

in a certain sense I hope mountain lion will be the lion sp1, in the same sense snow leopard was the leopard sp1 (and IMHO Snow Leopard is the best OSX so far).

[fantomas1]

Certainly, for an output per year, we can't speak about an OS, but more than a SP !    

But

in my opion apple had to diverge the attention from Windows 8 + Metro to OSX + iOS tweaks. On the other hand the time interval between two following releases of OSX has always been between 200/300 days on average (Leopard and Snow Leopard are exceptions).

[Alessandro17]

The first OS X, Cheetah 10.0 was released On March 24, 2001.
Lion was released on July 20, 2011. Thus we have 8 releases in 10 years, an average of just over a year per release.
Mountain Lion is scheduled to be released in late summer 2012, one year after Lion.
Thus yes, the time span is a bit shorter than average, but not that much.
Personal opinion. I find the OS X release schedule about right.
Operating systems should be released once a year. Many Linux distributions are released twice a year.
Of course with Microsoft it is an entirely different story.

That's true ! Linux releases come out every 6 months (Ubuntu), I think that under these conditions, it isn't easy to come up with something new and stable!

I think two years is more than enough to release a new and stable OS, and that wouldn't be too lag behind in relation with the new technologies!

but I think we're a little off topic, right?  

What was the question ?

[Alessandro17]

I wasn't that off-topic, I mainly explained how things work with the OS X release schedule and why Mountain Lion is not that different in comparison to previous releases

[fantomas1]

blame it at the real deal !!!
