The new upgrade is available for
Mac computers. This is most probably the most important upgrade at least apple
is claiming to be the most successful OS yet. But the question is do you really
need to upgrade? Let’s see. The number of updates in mountain lion over last
year’s lion update is huge, around 200. Some of the major are dedicated sharing
button and airplay mirroring etc. As for Mac
OS X technical support it made the operating system new and different.
On the first look it doesn’t seem
that anything has really changed. It looks exactly same as the previous one, so
it’s really surprising to know that it contain more than two hundred updates.
The one which mostly talked about is airplay. It is already pretty successful
on IPad and it was about time to include it in OS X. Those of you who don’t
what it is, it is the software part of Apple TV. It streams the computer content
(movies and games) through Apple TV to your television. All you need to do is
to connect all parts to a single wireless network and enjoy. But this facility
is not for those who use older ones, which mean you will face problem with the
old version of Mac-books.
Another new and interesting
feature is share button. Each and every application now has a dedicated share
button. If you are not a very sharing person you would find that a little
annoying. But Apple’s intention is not really same. They want you to share
everything in social network sites. In a word they want you to be online every
time. But if you are into social networking you will find it a great think to
have.
One of the coolest things is to
include dictation in Mac OS X. IPhone and IPad users are already using this
feature for a long time and it kind a shame that Mac OS X didn’t have that. Now in mountain lion
it is included and almost all Mac-book users can have this facility. For those
who are oblivious, it is the best application which allows you to dictate to
your computer with a microphone and it will convert you speech into a document,
so no need to appoint anyone to do that. It will save so much of your time and
you money. But it is preferred not to use it for a lengthy document.
Here is a small list of the new
ones.
Time Machine (you need to buy an
additional hard drive for this)
Photo Booth (everyone who used
IOS 5 on their IPad is familiar with this)
Face Time (for video calls)
AirDrop
Boot Camp
Microsoft Exchange Support
(requires Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 service pack 1)
AirPlay Mirroring (newer models
are good with this)
Power Nap
Gestures and VoiceOver Gestures
Dictation and most importantly
Mac App Store
So bad that Siri is not included.
So, go ahead, upgrade your OS and
enjoy the new feature. If you don’t have a Mac then gets one. It’s now with
Retina Display. If you are facing problem with installation, contact with Mac support specialist. They would do the work for
you. After all it’s cheaper than you thought.
