After downloading the software for one day because of slow internet connection, I have now upgraded my Mac to Apple's latest operating system Mountain Lion. My Macbook Pro is a mid-2010 model. Here are some snapshots of my desktop during and after the upgrade.

Some observations during and after the upgrade:
- It took me an hour to finish the upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion.
- I noticed a gain of 1GB HD space.
- Boot time is still the same. I really miss the snappy Snow Leopard. It's also due to the fact that my Macbook Pro is already 2-years old.
- Another flawless upgrade, my Windows 7 Bootcamp partition was left intact.
- I don't see a wallpaper for Mountain Lion. The wallpapers for Snow Leopard and Lion still exist. I love the new default galaxy wallpaper though.
