Coming this summer - OS X Mountain Lion

[McCartman]

All I can say is "Awesome, awesome, awesome!!". This release will further integrate Mac OS to iOS. Better iCloud document sharing, notifications, iMessage on the Mac, etc. Best feature, IMO - Airplay mirroring to AppleTV. Downside to that feature is it will require at least a Core i3 equipped Mac. I've been getting the itch to upgrade to a new iMac anyhow - this seals the deal.

Alrighty then - you can get a taste of what is coming by downloading a beta version of Messages at the link below. Methinks Apple is taking a different route since Jobs passed away. First Siri, now this - very much unlike the Apple of the past to do beta releases to the public.

More and more Apple is becoming the man on the screen instead of the woman with the hammer.
It's a very sad thing to witness.

How so, Kev?
