Apple releases preview of OS X Mountain Lion

I didn’t see that coming: Apple announcing a major update to its desktop operating system with just a slight whimper. Well, stranger things have happened.

The new release is the ninth major update to OS X and includes even more features inspired by iOS on the iPad and iPhone. You can head over to Apple’s website for more details. Lucky for us, Apple’s also seeded the developer preview to some major technology blogs (Does anyone else think that kind of product seeding tactic’s new for Apple post-Jobs?).

Take your pick:

  • Daring Fireball (The de riguer Apple blog to read)
  • The Verge (Photos and videos galore here)
  • TechCrunch (Includes mentions of undocumented new features, like a unified search and address bar in Safari)
