The current machine lineup will likely start shipping with Mountain Lion very shortly. I'd put good money down saying that any machine ordered online tomorrow ships with Mountain Lion installed by default.
In fact wouldn't surprise me if they've already started imaging machines with Mountain Lion, as they know when those machines will reach customers and can guarantee they'll arrive after the OS goes live.
- ComputerGuru 14y agoThe GM seed of ML has been available to developers since July 9th, the assumption is that the production and assembly teams would have had access to it even earlier if need be. However, drop-shipping new MacBooks from Shanghai takes 5 days maximum, if Apple just wanted to guarantee that all Macs delivered the 25th and later had ML, they'd only have to start imaging for machines being shipped out on the 20th. Easy.
- ryannielsen 14y agoYep, you just reiterated my point.
- ComputerGuru 14y agoI'm providing numbers to back your point up. Sorry if that wasn't inherently clear.
