Last Thursday, February 16, Apple gave the public its first look at Apple's newest desktop operating system, OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.

The big surprise that greeted many was not the news that this new OS would be very iPad-like, that much was expected. For many, the real surprise was that -- maybe in response to its highest-end audience's unstaged critical disconnect to Final Cut Pro X's introduction -- Apple issued a strong pre-emptive statement regarding its new OS. It said that while this new OS X version had many iPad-like qualities and conventions, the company was quick to affirm that there would be no one-size-fits-all iOS across all Apple devices. Desktops would go on. They would have their own OS. Apple rumor sites have been discussing new MacPro desktops. Time will tell what it all really means.

Some wonder just how far Apple will go to serve a higher-end user base needing more than an iMac. It sounds like we are soon about to see.

Until then, Apple's official introduction is now online at www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/

And you can find some great discussions going on about Apple's new OS X Mountain Lion in our forums at cr8v.co/wMk
