Well, Mountain Lion is fast and realiable, the best OS out there, obviously.

However, random WIFI drops, shutdown times and memory leaks must be resolved. And the OS can still be faster, "lighter".

Can't wait for this update :) they are taking their time for sure.

And it killed my MBP battery.

Hopefully Apple will fix the issue with mdworker. I posted the Console error messages I've been noticing to Macintouch, and a knowledgable reader responded: "I submitted a bug report to Apple on it. Apple responded it was a knowm bug. Has been happening on 10.8.2. In short, mdworker scans and indexes files for Spotlight and sends a message to lsboxd, but the new security measure does not like a program going outside its sandbox and thus denies it. Several posts on Apple forums have covered this issue."

Not that I doubt that you're experiencing that personally, but I have four different Macs at home (an iMac, a 11" MacBook Air, and two MacBook Pro's) and haven't experienced any of those symptoms on any of them.

Just sayin'... maybe there's an issue with your computer, specifically?

Hope my webcam comes back...

My iMac Wifi drop occurred several times a day bcoz of logmein after mountain lion. Without Logmein, wifi drops once in a while. I think you need to check some softwares which intensively uses network resources.

They need to correct the changes they made to reminders, and most of all to Safari's activity monitor. UPGRADE means to improve..... not castrate. :(

I'm sorry, but older versions of OS X seemed much better than this current catastrophe.

Please no flames. Just being honest.
 

Very close.  Mid 50's or low 60's are the usual public release builds.

No, it happens to a lot of mac users. Lots of people talking about it. Usually my air shuts down in 2 seconds (max) but with mountain lion, it takes up to 10 seconds. It's a huge difference on a machines like the air, that boots up in less than that. It looks like people with SSDs are the ones that notice this... Windows 7 takes 2 to 3 seconds to shut down, for example.

Obviously OSX is so superior and beautiful that i don't mind it, but it should be fixed.

The WIFI problem is very widespread. I have my mac with WIFI turned on 24/7, and it drops more or less 5 times per day and sometimes it takes up to 3 minutes to connect again, even when deactivated and activated. This never happened before. Lots of threads about this subject in Apple fan sites and the Apple forum.

Then it's the memory problem... Memory takes a lot of time to be "free" when it reaches "not-active" status. It's a well know problem, just like the iGPU eats ram like there's no tomorrow. this must be fixed.

Well, did they FINALLY add an AirPlay button to QuickTime Player, like iTunes has?!
