Apple have announced that OS X 10.8, or Mountain Lion, will be released on the Mac App Store. The software upgrade is a very reasonable $19.99/£13.99, which is a complete contradiction to the high prices that Microsoft charge for their operating systems.
The new operating system will bring a raft of new features to the Macintosh user base, such as Notes, Notification Center and reminders. They are also introducing ‘GateKeeper', a new security feature which is designed to help reduce malware by blocking uncertified applications from being installed.
The company are bringing 200 features to the new code. If you bought a new Apple computer on June 11th, or after then you may be able to get a free upgrade, via the ‘uptodate‘ scheme.
Kitguru says: A new operating system for £13.99. Microsoft, any chance of adopting this model? it would certainly cut down on piracy.
the reason is cheap is because it doesnt really add much, these kind of inbetween updates 7.1 7.2 and so on are free for Windows and only the full releases are charged for
