I just went over to Mountain Lion - kicks azz. One minor issue with Parallels Desktop sharing the wireless connection nicely with Mac OS but it just required tweaking a setting in Parallels 7. Now works flawlessly. Nice upgrade. The messaging feature is pretty cool and now the notifications let you dump Growl (one less thing to worry about having to upgrade & pay for), etc. It is definitely more cloud-based, but that's not entirely bad. I still keep anything sensitive local on my machine only but for shared / less-than-sensitive stuff the cloud is great and it's thus far flawless. For $20 it's worth the upgrade. I swear everything runs faster too.

EDIT: Oh supposedly native AirPlay to AppleTV now for all my videos, etc. I haven't tried it yet but am looking forward to it. I think if I want the really high resolution I'll still need the HDMI cable connection which I have but for run-of-the-mill stuff it's not big deal.
