The first version of Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server 1.0, was a transitional product, featuring an interface resembling the classic Mac OS, though it was not compatible with software designed for the older system. Consumer releases of Mac OS X included more backward compatibility.
After releasing a tweaked beta of Mountain Lion 10.8.2 just last week and the public release of iOS 6 this morning, Apple just released 10.8.2 through Software Update. As we previously detailed, the update’s big feature is Facebook integration including single sign on, Facebook sharing options for links and photos, and Facebook notifications in Notification Center. Game Center also received some nice enhancements while the MacBook Air (late 2010) gained Power Nap.
Apple also released OS X 10.7.5 today for OS X Lion users, which includes Gatekeeper and a number of fixes for Launchpad, Wi-Fi, and Spotlight.
A list of what is included in 10.8.2 is below via Apple’s full release notes:
