I have been asked about the upcoming release of Mountain Lion a lot lately, which is a great thing, so I wanted to send a note out to everyone summarizing some of the information.
If you have any questions about Mountain Lion or any Apple technology, please reach out to Mike Scott or myself, depending on who your SE is. If you don't know who that is, let me know and I'll look it up for you. -------- Corey Carson • Systems Engineer • Apple Education CO/WY • ☎ 303.834.7193
What is Mountain Lion?
When will Mountain Lion be available? Mountain Lion is expected to ship in July.
Should I delay a Mac purchase until Mountain Lion ships? Any Mac purchased on or after June 11, 2012 may be eligible to receive a Mountain Lion license at no additional charge. To take advantage of that offer, after Mountain Lion is available, you must register that computer at http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/ within 30 days of Mountain Lion's availability or within 30 days of the computer's purchase date, which ever is later.
Can I still run Lion (10.7) on a computer that comes with Mountain Lion (10.8)? No. The license agreement for Mac OS X does not permit you to downgrade the installed OS on that computer. If your deployment requires that you remain on 10.7, you may want to consider purchasing your computers prior to Mountain Lion's release in order to remain license compliant.
How much will Mountain Lion cost? Mountain Lion will be priced at $19.99 per seat. In the past, volume pricing for Mac OS X has been available for education institutions, but nothing has been announced at this time.
