Az Apple hivatalos sajtóközleményben jelentette be a mai napon, hogy az elmúlt 4 napban összesen 3 millió alkalommal töltötték le a legújabb OS X 10.8-as Mountain Lion operációs rendszert. Az Apple történelmében így mostanra ez a változat lett a legsikeresebb. A nyitóhétvégén izzottak a szerverek is, de a nehéz akadályt és hatalmas forgalmat könnyedén vette az Apple. Nyilvánvaló, hogy a sikerhez hozzájárult a 20$ alatti ár is, de közrejátszott a több, mint 200 újdonság is.
Ha egy picit után utánaszámolunk, akkor így az Apple 4 nap alatt plusz 60 millió dolláros bevételt realizált. Phil Schiller, az Apple marketingért felelős alelnöke elmondta, hogy az egy évvel ezelőtti OS X Lion is hitetetlenül sikeres volt, de az új Mountain Lion frissítés erre még egy lapáttal rátett. Ez minden idők legsikeresebb kiadása – tette hozzá.
