Apple
first announced the latest update of the operating system in February. The
update continues a trend to include components for desktop and laptop families
that have been performed on the iPad and iPhone mobile devices.

include the ability to upload and synchronize it with the material icloud
Internet storage service, the introduction of the iMessage SMS-like service
that allows calls between computers and handsets of the company, the ability to

8 - and touchscreen apps Metro - described by Microsoft as the biggest revision
of the interface in more than a decade. But one analyst said Mountain Lion was
more of an incremental step forward.

there are a host of new features, this is not a major upgrade, as the latest
version of Leo," says Brian Blau, research director at Gartner Tech.

Apple is also improving its Office-like software applications and creation
along the way, so maybe you do not need such a big revision. And you must keep
in mind it is only charging $ 20 [£ 13.99 in the UK] for the change. "
