So how much is it going to break once I update? I need my Mac for work today - I guess I'll hold off for now.

I don't know what you run, but I run some things that are obscure or tie into the OS in non-sandboxy ways, and can say "nothing broke" that I can think of. Here's a sampling of items that are known good in my ML. Pref panes that work: - Growl 1.2.2 (same as Lion, uncheck the update prompt pref) - Geektool 3.0 (non-app store version) - Hazel 3.0.10 (had to update!) - Logitech LCD Manager - MacFuse - MenuMeters 1.5 - Perian 1.2.3 - Plantronics Spokes 1.0.2 (USB headset driver) - Printopia 2.1.5 - Xmarks for Safari 1.4.1 Menu bar apps that worked on latest versions: - Fantastical - Dropbox - Adium - Xmarks - Google Drive - Display Maid - BetterSnapTool - Flux - gfxCardStatus - Transmit - Western Digital Drive Manager (USB RAID Manager) - NOTE: This one had to be updated for Lion, with a beta driver http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=114&sid=62&lang=en http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=114&... and this same beta driver works in Mountain Lion. There does not appear to be a newer driver since that one. - DisplayLink USB-to-DVI Driver 1.8 (for USB to DVI dongle, I use three monitors) Apps I updated: - Parallels 7.0 15104 - MailPlane 3 (build 357) - Skype 5.8.0.1027 - ScanSnap Manager 3.2L60 - CardIris for ScanSnap 4.0.13 - FlashPlayer for OSX I've been extremely happy with this update compared to the Snow Leopard to Lion update, where a variety of things needed updates or command line configuration. Naturally, update Xcode and etc. for the latest command line tools. Executive summary: absolutely nothing keeping me from getting work done.
