I can't resist bashing 10.8 a little. I don't know if I would rush to upgrade... I find the removal of 'save as' to be very annoying (holding down option brings it back). Also the way Text edit would hide the scroll bar by default was annoying when looking through log files (easily changed though). Just when I got used to pushing F4 to bring up a calculator and calendar (Dashboard I think it's called?), they changed that too. Delete no longer navigates back in a web browser. These are little things, granted, but they are the little things that I love about using Macs! My new Imac has 10.8, and I don't have the ambition to downgrade the OS on it, but I personally miss 10.6.8. That being said, my crystallography programs run just fine.
