If you've just bought your first Mac (congratulations!), all of OS X is new to you (and congratulations, by the way!). But chances are good that you've used OS X before and are upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion. This appendix puts in one place what's changed in OS X Mountain Lion compared to OS X Lion, the previous version. It helps you zero in on what's changed and refers you to the chapters that fill in all the details.
I've organized the summaries of what's new by category, so you can see what new features are related and are likely to affect specific activities.
