Apple unveiled next generation of Mac OS X today ( 16 February , 2012 ) . A lot of new features are added and many features originally in iOS 5 are introduced to Mountain Lion . It replaces many common third-party software’s features as well .

It adds the following new features :

• iCloud :
  we all expect it . Fully integrating iCloud to Mac OS X makes the new operating system’s settings & documents saved online . You will not worry about your Mac die one day and settings are lost ; the documents & settings are simply restored with the godlike power of iCloud . For documents , you can even access them in any other Mac and even iPhones . ( bye Dropbox … )
  
• Notification Center :
  this convenient feature  now comes to Mountain Lion . Notification types are the same with iOS : Banners , Alerts or None . ( bye Growl … )
  
• Reminders & To-Do List :
  Apps from iOS , yes . Of course , they are in sync with iCloud , as well as your phone .
• Share Sheets :
  this feature button will appear everywhere , allows you to share the information you browse easily .
• Built-in Social Networks :
  Twitter native app is here . Also Flickr , Vimeo & AOL . No Google’s products like YouTube ? No Facebook ? well …
• Game Center :
  Manage your game apps , scores & achievements on Mac . You can even find players for multiplayer games .
• AirPlay Mirroring :
  With the help of Apple TV , the screen on Mac can be streamed to HDTV . Best for HD movies .
• Gatekeeper :
  This feature will protect you from installing malicious software . May cause annoyance if the user is not that familiar with this feature .
• New features for China :
  Mail , Calendar & Contacts now work with QQ , 126 , 163 , Sina , Youku . Personally I think this is unnecessary as these companies help pirated software & media to spread .

Replacing the following features :

• from iChat to Messages :
  the new Messages act like a multi-protocol messenger , which supports iMessage ( of course ) , Google Talk , Yahoo , etc.  ( bye Adium … ) 
  chatting between Mac and iPhones will be convenient .
  beta version of Messages can be download here .
• from Stickies to Notes :
  another iOS app comes to Mac OS X . It replaces old Stickies with Notes app , well-managed and with sharing features . Again , sync with iCloud .

Last , Mountain Lion will be available this summer . Stay tuned .
