Much like OS X Lion before it, OS X Mountain Lion is a minor upgrade. It also is only US$19.99, which is the cheapest operating system upgrade Apple ever has released and yet it introduces 'over 200 new features.' However, whether or not upgrading is 'worth it' has little to do with its low cost. OS X Mountain Lion is available now as a download from the Mac App Store. Just click the Mac App Store icon in your dock, purchase Mountain Lion and follow the onscreen instructions to install it. Mountain Lion will not only make your Mac work better, it also makes your Mac work even better with your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Because it comes with iCloud, your mail, calendars, contacts. If you get a Mac that didn't come with OS X Mountain Lion preinstalled. If you have a catastrophic hard-drive crash that requires you to initialize (format) or replace your boot drive. If you buy an external hard drive and want it to be capable of being your Mac's startup disk (that is, a bootable disk).
