Apple Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL) launched its much-awaited new
operating system, Mountain Lion, for Mac computers on Wednesday. It has
features inspired from mobile devices and a better and more secure integration
with online file storage. The objective of the new software is to bridge the
gap between phone software packages and the PC. This will enable all Mac based
Pc’s to function in similar ways like iPhones and iPads.
The concept rivals that of Microsoft Corp., which has come
up with something similar with its yet-to-be-released Windows 8 System. Windows
8 will be launched on October 26 and it will revolutionize the entire look of
the user interface as it will bring the usability and features of Windows Phone
to PCs.
