Apple has been reported as selling over three million copies of Mountain Lion, its new version of OS X in the first four days of its launch. It is the most successful version yet. It is also the cheapest. In fact, as the price has fallen, so the numbers of people buying it has risen. I'm sure there is a correlation there.
Of course, making something cheap doesn't guarantee success and Linux is free, yet few people use it. There is obviously something wrong if you can't even give away something.
Mountain Lion is actually very good as well as being cheap and for me, it is the best version yet. Other upgrades have been more like tweaks here and there, but this has more features that I actually find useful. Things like the Notification Center, the Reminders and Notes apps, the better Calendar, iCloud. They are all useful features, particularly if you have an iPhone or iPad.
Windows 8 will apparently be cheap too, but probably not the sub £14 price of Mountain Lion. If you have a Mac with 4Gb or more of memory, I would recommend it.
